Homecoming 2015

BY PETER HANNEY P’23, ‘27, DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATIONS & MARKETING

What an incredible day for Homecoming! More than 70 alumni and their families attended Homecoming and dozens played in the soccer and field hockey games. It was great to see so many alums, students, faculty, staff, and friends gather at the Head of School’s house afterwards for a reception on the deck.

Dr. James Tracy, the newly-named Head of School for 2016-17, stopped by during the Homecoming activities to meet his new community members. Head of School Peter Branch introduced Dr. Tracy, who expressed his admiration for the community feel on the campus and his anticipation for being a part of it.

Peter Branch also spoke of the need to replace the current fleet of aging sailboats. He was pleased to announce that the Jump On Board campaign was successful in raising the funds needed for seven new Zim Sailing 420 Collegiate sailboats.

On the fields, Girls’ Varsity Field Hockey team triumphed over the RHS Alumnae team, Girls’ Alumnae Soccer defeated the Varsity team, and Boys’ Varsity Soccer team were victorious over the Alumni. But it didn’t really matter which teams won because it brought people throughout the extended RHS community back to Rocky Hill to enjoy each other’s company on this magnificent campus.

Thank you to all our alumni and friends who came to celebrate Homecoming 2015! v
