On June 28, 1915, Elizabeth Goddard, great-great daughter of Hope Brown Ives, married Lieutenant Commander Barnes Newberry on the front lawn of Hopelands. The visual representation written by the “Evening Star” describes this event as nothing short of breathtaking. As we fast forward over one hundred and eight years, our Hopelands landscape continues to offer renters breathtaking experiences. With its view of the Narragansett Bay, luscious landscapes, and the grandiose elm, Hopelands by the Bay continues to grow, with intimate weddings, large bridal showers, local chamber events, and class reunions, while holding onto its historic beauty.

A Favorite Spot! Our Rock.

The Rock located outside of Perkins serves as a landmark for making memories for our Lower Schoolers throughout the years. It is almost like a magnet for young children. At first, some might be intimidated by the rock, but it quickly becomes a favorite spot on campus. Our youngest Mariners marvel at its size but, in time, one sees all the joy that comes when they finally feel confident enough to climb to the top. As the weather warms up in the spring, classes are often listening to their teacher read aloud on the rock, reading independently, writing or even enjoying their snack. It is sometimes hard to find a time when The Rock is free. As a familiar and comfortable gathering space in Lower School, The Rock is home to some of our favorite traditions, including Poetry on the Rock and many of our Lower School Gatherings.

RHCD Summer by the Bay

RHCD Summer by the Bay is back! For over half a century, RHCD Summer by the Bay has created unforgettable memories for campers. This summer our Critters, Jr. Mariners, Mariners and Sr. Mariners are back and ready for summer fun. We are also looking forward to hosting many sport and specialty camps to offer summer experiences for all campers. Most all counselors this year have been with us for some time (many starting as Jr. Mariners themselves!) and are truly looking forward to spending the summer with both new and returning campers. As we continue to grow our camps, we look forward to creating summer memories filled with sun, fun and friends.

Welcome to Fall, the best season of the year!

Autumn leaves, Pumpkins, Veterans Day, Grandfriends Day, Field Hockey, Shakespeare, Room on the Broom, Turkey Trot, and more.

Mike Jedrey Head of Middle School

For many years, the Middle School has celebrated the Halloween season with an Annual Pumpkin Carving event. Quickly becoming a favorite holiday, long ago, discovered the benefits of adding tootsie pops to this celebration, and it has been part of this long-standing tradition ever since. For the adults watching over our saw-wielding middle schoolers, tootsie pops have the magical quality of lowering the decibel level and making this a pseudo-Zen activity, at least until clean up!

Snow!

Wishes for the World, Basketball, RHCD Holiday Lights Spectacular at Roger Williams Zoo, Student Council Semi-Formal Dance, Winter Instrumental and Choral Concerts, Open House, Trivia Night, and a New Year to boot!

Just a few reasons why we love Rocky Hill in the Winter! We look forward to community gatherings with students, faculty, alumni and future Mariners, to celebrating light and joy during our traditional Solstice, to a time of rest, and then togetherness once more as we return to campus in the New Year.
