A Brief History of the Academy PART 2 OF 2
The fall 2018 issue of 1794 included the first part of Cheshire Academy’s history, from its
founding through the 1960s, with a focus on
academic and community life. The article pointed to many defining moments of special insight and
accomplishment, both individual and collective, that helped develop the Academy’s identity. This second installment brings the narrative to the present, a
time of international vision and institutional health, and forward thinking and strategic approaches that address the challenges and opportunities of current society and culture.
While it is impossible to include all the milestones,
every achievement — great and small — and all the people who made an impact, we have attempted
to cover a range of highlights. In this brief article and on the pages that follow, you hopefully will get the “big picture” and a sense of the progress
and advancement made through the decades. The
points are intended to take you back, spark a distant memory, pull on a heartstring, bring a smile, and
broaden your understanding of the truly remarkable legacy of our extraordinary Cheshire Academy.
