Welcome Back to Campus!

A Note from Our Co-Presidents:

Welcome to the Hamden Hall Parents’ Association!  We are very excited to begin a new school year and welcome students and families to campus.  We are looking forward to seeing all our returning families and to welcoming all our new families to our very special Hamden Hall Community.  

Throughout the academic year we host events and fundraisers that not only give our students and families the opportunity to support our school, but also gives our parents the opportunity to get to know one another and make lasting friendships. The goal of our Parents’ Association is to connect our parent community, foster positive school spirit, and build relationships. 

Check out all our News and Events posted on our Parents’ Association page on the HH website. You can also get updates from “Hamden Hall Happenings,” a bi-weekly newsletter that arrives via email.
We welcome you to the Hamden Hall Community, and we wish you and your students a wonderful school year! Please contact us with questions or to volunteer!

Warm Regards,
JoAnn Scillia                          Sandy Kaliszewski

The HHPA hosted a sold-out crowd at their Moonlight and Magic event at our Davis Street Castle on May 18.

The evening featured a school-wide art show displayed at the castle. Guests were amazed at the magic by Gary Ferrar. Delicious catering provided by Orchid Hospitality and a wonderful beverage assortment supplied courtesy of Two Roads Brewery.

The HHPA wishes to extend their warmest thanks and gratitude to all the generous sponsors and attendees who supported the event and made this night a success! All proceeds will go directly to our student initiatives.
