What an exciting year this is for you! We are starting the countdown on campus to Commencement 2024, and plans are in the works for all of the various events and celebrations that lead up to graduation!
One of the many graduation mainstays at Hamden Hall is our annual Senior Parent Legacy Fund. Last year, we added to this tradition by establishing an endowed fund special to each year’s graduating class. This fund will provide educational opportunities to future generations of Hornets who seek a Hamden Hall education but do not have the financial means to obtain one. Moving forward, our Class of 2024 members and their families will have the ability to contribute to this fund for years to come and be able to see the growth and benefits garnered since its establishment.
Families and friends of the Class of 2024 are encouraged to make a gift this year to help establish this fund. Earlier in the year, our seniors made their first contributions of $20.24 and received a T-shirt as a token of appreciation.
All participating donors will receive special recognition in our annual Hamden Hall Magazine and can designate their contribution in honor of their graduating senior, a favorite faculty member, or even a coach. Donors will also be listed on our traditional Senior Parent Legacy Plaque that will hang in The Ack, the senior lounge. We hope to garner 100 percent participation from our Class of 2024 families!

"The power of education and the development of critical thinking is at the core of what Hamden Hall Country Day School has to offer. Both of our sons, Louis ’22 and Nicholas ’24, have been well-prepared for every stage of their educational development under the pines. Hamden Hall’s rigorous curriculum and exceptional teachers offered our sons both the challenge and the support they needed to grow. "
"I decided long ago that my focus had to be my children’s education in an environment where they can grow and become leaders of their own destiny. Hamden Hall has been exactly that, the small classes, the diversity, and the many sports make Hamden Hall a community not just a school. The student section of the bleachers at any of the games is attended by students, parents, and staff members alike, all cheering for their friends supporting their fellow Hornets. Our Hornets come in all different sizes from preschoolers all the way to college ready individuals."
“Agreeing to send my son Richard to Hamden Hall was a decision I made without hesitation. Even knowing as a single parent the cost and time involvement was not going to be easy after having sent his older brother. In the 10 consecutive years my boys have attended Hamden Hall, I have witnessed the quality of education and the dedication of the staff to be second to none."
"Kate's Hamden Hall journey started when she entered Kindergarten at age 4, and she has enjoyed every day since. Immersed in Hamden Hall's interknit community, Kate was able to forge close relationships with her teachers (she still visits her Lower School teachers every week) and bloom into a kind, intelligent, and strong young lady."
“Investing in our children’s education has always been a top priority for our family. With that being said, Hamden Hall was one of the best decisions we have made. It was an easy one too—we saw the growth in our daughter, Riya, from the minute she stepped foot on campus till the day she walked the stage at her 2019 graduation. We wanted the same environment for our son and decided to enroll him as well!
Gifts to the Class of 2024 Endowed Scholarship Fund of $500 or more made by April 15 will also receive an exclusive personalized Class of 2024 Commemorative Plaque. This beveled glass keepsake measures 8” x 6” and will be personalized for your senior!
