COUNCIL CORNER COUNCIL CORNER

The Alumni Council 20222023 has reorganized after several years of hiatus to be a resource and engagement force that connects with classmates and friends to bring news of the school, update alumni contact information, and support events sponsored by the Alumni and Advancement Offices.

Dr. Ashley (Brown ’00) Birtwell, Head of School, has attended all meetings to date to share updates and initiatives of the school, and answer questions from Council members. Derek Chimner ’04, Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, has also been a guest speaker at a council meeting.

The Alumni Council is excited to take part in the planning of the newly updated Alumni Weekend, formerly Reunion Weekend. Alumni, family, and friends are all invited to help us celebrate on October 6 and 7, 2023. All members of the first Senior School (1966 - 1968) are specially invited to gather as the 1968s celebrate their 55th anniversary with classmates and friends from those pioneering days. Other class parties on Friday will include five-year recognitions for the Class of 2013 (10th) through the Class of 1973 (50th). Saturday will include family-friendly activities such as face painting, a balloon artist, sporting events, and more. Finish out the day with a gala reception at Allegheny Country Club. The Council encourages all alumni to make plans now to return to SA on this fun-filled weekend with family and friends.

Please note that the Class of 2018 will be celebrated for their 5th reunion at the Alumni Holiday Party on December 23 at the Edgeworth Club.
