Berwick Announces Reunion Changes

Following the success and positive feedback of this past fall’s Blue and White Homecoming Weekend and Reunion, Berwick Academy will be adopting a new reunion model. Moving forward, Berwick will celebrate reunions every other year using a “cluster” model. Cluster reunions give you the opportunity to reconnect with friends in other class years as well as your own and

The next Berwick Academy Blue and White Homecoming Weekend and Reunion will take place in the fall of 2024 and will celebrate milestone class years ending in 3, 4, 8, and 9. For example, the Classes of 2003 and 2004 will be celebrating their 20th reunion, and the Classes of 1973 and 1974 will be celebrating their 50th reunion. All alumni are welcome and encouraged to come back to campus with special celebrations honoring those classes recognizing a milestone reunion.

“The opportunity for alumni to gather and reconnect with a larger group outside of just their specific class allows for more and deeper ties to be made,” said Ken Lafler ’82, president of the Alumni Advisory Board.

For an overview of milestone reunion years and when they will be celebrated, please visit the alumni page of the Berwick website.

For questions, please contact Chelsea Fraser in the Advancement Office (chelsea.fraser@ berwickacademy.org or 207.384.6309).

Each fall, Berwick sports teams compete on campus for Blue and White Day. These home games are a great way to celebrate the Berwick community and cheer on the home team. While there will be no formal programming for alumni around this fall’s Blue and White Day (2023), we always encourage alumni to come back to campus to cheer on the Bulldogs.
