What impact did Old Trail have on you as a student and person?

When I reflect on my educational endeavors as a whole, the projects, experiences and community at Old Trail are what left an everlasting imprint in my life. The deep connections that I formed with the teachers and faculty empowered me and instilled the confidence in me to achieve all of my lifelong academic goals. It is especially remarkable, seeing many of the familiar faces of educators that are at the school, all these years later, and I still feel a strong connection with them today. The deep connections that I formed with my peers at Old Trail were everlasting and I am grateful that many of my Old Trail friends are part of my life to this day.

What was your favorite memory of Old Trail when you were a student?

When I walk through the halls of Old Trail School, I am flooded with a rush of countless fond memories from my personal experiences as a student at the school from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade. Today, when I am on the campus, I cannot help but smile from the unforgettable experiences from my time at Old Trail and I feel overjoyed with excitement seeing the next generation of students walking through the halls.

To honor the legacy of multigenerational Old Trail families and the impact the school has had on them, we will be using this space to highlight alumni who have children currently enrolled at Old Trail. If you are interested in participating, please contact us at communications@oldtrail.org.
