INTRODUCTION
The Power and Promise of Philanthropy
For any independent school, philanthropy is more than just a tradition. It is an engine that enhances and enables the school to provide a transformative educational experience for our students.
It is no different for us here at the Academy. As we reflect on this past fiscal year, we are filled with pride for what has been accomplished. The generosity of everyone listed in this report continues to build a culture around philanthropy and has strengthened the tradition of giving. It has provided resources that have allowed us to deepen our commitment to the mission of nurturing tomorrow’s leaders, innovators and thinkers as we prepare them to thrive in a rapidly changing world.
What follows in these pages is both a celebration of the milestones we have reached and a recognition of the work that still lies ahead. The support from our donors has helped us enhance academic programs, expand our geographic reach, and invest in existing facilities to make them feel like new and ensure that our students have spaces that foster innovative learning and match the quality of their talent.
However, as we celebrate these successes, we are also reminded that our work is far from complete. The challenges of today’s educational landscape demand that we remain agile and forward-thinking. While we have made great strides, there are still many opportunities to build our culture around philanthropy and strengthen the tradition of giving. As you have heard before, our aspirations are high and we envision a future for Wilbraham & Monson where our facilities continue to evolve to meet the needs of modern education and where our faculty are equipped with the resources they need to inspire and challenge our students.
Philanthropy will continue to play a pivotal role in achieving this vision. The unwavering support of our community — alumni, parents, faculty and friends — will be essential to meet the goals of our master plan. Together, we can ensure that Wilbraham & Monson remains a place where students not only learn but also grow into thoughtful, engaged citizens who are prepared to make a positive impact on the world.
As you read through this report, consider the tremendous difference that philanthropy has had. To our current supporters, we say "thank you," and to those we have yet to recognize we say, "Now is the time; be part of the promise of Wilbraham & Monson Academy." There is no limit to what we can achieve.

BOARD MESSAGE
Your experience of WMA ... was empowered
by those who came before
I always enjoy reviewing The Giving Report, especially one celebrating a fiscal year as successful as 2023-2024. After reading these wonderful donor stories for yourself, you will get to the By The Numbers section and see what I mean. But smile as I might at such positive numbers, I remember that the 700+ supporters listed in this report don’t contribute to WMA for the sake of strong financial statements.
So why do they? Why does someone like David Reeves P’12 ’14 serve? Why has Liz Wagoner ’01 volunteered and contributed for over 20 years? Why will Mike and Claire Thompson support WMA through their estate?
The answer, I think, can be found in any recent copy of “Academy World.”
As alumni, we identify with the students and their achievements, victories or struggles because we had the same. We smile at the news of a familiar faculty member and coach or because they remind us of one from our time. We see opportunities seized, programs expanded, careers made and traditions continued. Current parents, alumni parents, faculty, staff and everyone who makes up our community of supporters see and feel the same. Collectively, we think: “This is what our gifts do. This is the impact we are having.”
But friends, there are not enough of us. Not enough of us are making the connection between what we see and hear of our Academy and the impact we can have on it. Only seven percent of alumni, for example, supported the Academy last year. I know that figure does not accurately reflect how WMA is held in the hearts of so many of us. Imagine what WMA could be with the support of 15, 20 or 50 percent of us!
This is why in each of my previous introductions, I have urged those who have not yet supported the school (or haven’t in a while) to do so. I repeat that call now. Your experience of WMA is special, and it was empowered by those who came before. You can make that same impact on students right now. WMA means something to each of us. We should honor that. We should pass it along.
As small drops make a river, together we can accomplish incredible things for WMA!

David Reeves P’12, ’14
Second decade of service begins as Vice Chair of Board of Trustees
By Sean Valentine Director of Stewardship & Planned Giving
During their meeting in April 2024, the Trustees of Wilbraham & Monson Academy elevated Board member David Reeves P’12, ’14 to the position of Vice Chair of the Board. For Mr. Reeves, it was well-deserved recognition for over 11 years of service.
First on the Buildings and Grounds Committee, then as Chair of the Finance Committee and Treasurer, Mr. Reeves has helped guide the Academy through many notable events. Head of School and CFO transitions, Campus Master Planning, the Athenaeum and iLab construction project and a global pandemic: all in a day’s work.
“Getting involved is something my wife, Melissa, and I have always done,” Mr. Reeves said. “Whether that’s our church, social organizations or our kids’ prior schools, we always want to help in any way we can.”
Way back in 2006, the Reeves were facing a big question. Their daughter Stephanie ’12 was in Grade 6 and about to enter the middle school in the Hampden-Wilbraham public school system, when things suddenly seemed a little less than ideal.
“Hampden and Wilbraham share a school district,’’ he said. “Not sure if it is the same now, but back then not everything offered in Wilbraham was offered in Hampden for some reason. That didn’t seem right to us, but as Hampden residents, we were locked into our local middle school. We said to ourselves, ‘What are we going to do here? Move?’”
While still pondering the question, the family happened to pass through campus on the way home from a skating lesson. It was an Open House day. They pulled in. They toured. They met Mr. (Charlie) D’Avanzo, then the Director of the Middle School. Everything suddenly clicked. Stephanie enrolled for Grade 7. Two years later, her sister Kristin ’14 enrolled for Grade 6.
"The plan was just to do middle school, but WMA was such a fantastic place and the girls did so well here, we wanted them to stay,’’ Mr. Reeves said. “Stephanie was interested in going to the Upper School but we were concerned with how the sports requirement would work for her. She was in a private dance program every day and wanted to continue dancing at a high level. WMA worked with us and allowed Stepanie to continue with her outside program as long as she also participated in the school dance program at a minimal level. During those years, WMA worked to build a much better dance program that has continued to improve ever since”.
In typical fashion, the Reeves got involved with WMA more or less immediately. Mrs. Reeves led the charge by volunteering for the Parents Association annual auction. She was treasurer of the group from 2010 to 2014 and was a member of the Parent Capital Steering Committee.
Mr. Reeves’ call to serve on the Board came in 2013 when then Board member Krista Hanson P’10 asked if he would be interested.
“We knew Krista and (husband) Glenn well, as their daughter Adrienne was a few years older than Stephanie,’’ Mr. Reeves said. “She asked if I would be interested in joining and serving on the Buildings and Grounds Committee. It was an easy ‘yes.’ Krista and I served together on the Board for nearly a decade.”
“David and Melissa have always been invested in WMA’s continued success,” Ms. Hanson said. “David’s business acumen has helped guide decisions to bring WMA to the next level. As a Trustee, I enjoyed working alongside David on various projects, and he and Melissa have become good friends of ours.”

David Reeves P’12, ’14, Vice Chair, Board of Trustees
Scott Jacobs ’75, Chair of the Board then and now, agreed with Ms. Hanson’s suggestion about Mr. Reeves.
“When we asked Dave to join the Board of Trustees, we thought his experience as a parent, an entrepreneur, and a member of the community would be of great value to the Academy,’’ Mr. Jacobs said. “We were not disappointed!”
“As Treasurer and Chair of the Finance Committee, my role is to provide a level of oversight to the financial picture of the Academy,’’ Mr. Reeves said. “This means working closely with our CFO Patty (Gallagher) and Kim Davis before her. I also see my role as being an advocate for Patty to the rest of the Board.”
“Dave has been amazing to work with,” Ms. Gallagher said. “I arrived at the school in the summer of 2023, and Dave has been invaluable in helping me to understand what had been done in the past and why. His calm and steady manner helps to ensure that the Finance Committee and the Board focus on the facts and make good, informed decisions.”
Working with Ms. Gallagher on the minute details of WMA’s financials seems an appropriate role for Mr. Reeves. For over 30 years, his company Genscope has been a leader in the development of borescopes, specifically very small borescopes: tiny fiber optic tubes equipped with even tinier cameras that send video back to a laptop or other device. Some scopes are less than one millimeter in diameter.
“The very small ones, those are our specialty,” Mr. Reeves said. “We do a lot of business with the aerospace industry, for example. They use our scopes to quality-check parts with tiny internal spaces, such as the welds on the inside of jet turbine blades. That kind of thing has to be perfect in order to function properly and safely, and our scopes allow the company to ensure the highest standards of manufacturing.
“They are also extremely useful for maintenance people. They can look inside complex components and determine if something needs to be replaced without having to take it apart. Saves a lot of time and money.”
Much like how the Reeves family came to WMA, Mr. Reeves’ path to Genscope was slightly serendipitous.
“The original idea came from someone that I met in industry,’’ he said. “He was looking for someone to make devices for dentists to see cavities and cracks in teeth. I thought it was a neat idea and offered to start a business to help him.”
“We launched the business in 1992. We struggled in the dental field for a few years, but we pivoted to new areas and have been very successful. Today the hardest part is finding qualified people to handle the precise and intricate manufacture of our products. It is delicate work and not just anyone can do it.”
The same could be said of Mr. Reeves’ service to WMA. Not just anyone could provide such outstanding leadership across so many challenging projects and times. Asked about Mr. Reeves’ time service to the Board, Mr. Jacobs said:
“Dave has brought a thoughtful, wise voice to the boardroom, helping guide many a discussion. With his new role as Vice Chair, we look forward to more years of benefiting from his wisdom."
This is a feeling shared by Kristin and Stephanie Reeves.
“Our parents were always really involved in our lives growing up, and it’s wonderful that they’ve stayed connected to WMA,” Kristin said. “WMA provides a community for life, regardless of if you’re a student, a parent or an alumnus or alumna.”
“Both my parents have been very involved in the success of my sister and I, and WMA at large,” Stephanie said. “They both really believe in WMA and have seen how much the school influenced our lives!”
Mr. Reeves himself is more humble as he looks back at the course of his WMA service.
“WMA had a huge positive impact on our daughters, so of course I want to help pass on that opportunity,” he said. “I also really enjoy working with my fellow Trustees and the staff of the Academy. The school has accomplished a great deal and has a lot coming down the pike. It’s exciting and humbling to be a part of that.”
WMA thanks the Reeves for their extensive and continued service to the Academy. Their leadership and support have been invaluable, and there will undoubtedly be much more to celebrate with them in the future.

Lana Merkel Creating the Gregory A. Merkel ’72 Scholarship
By Sean Valentine Director of Stewardship & Planned Giving
While much of the philanthropic support received by Wilbraham & Monson Academy comes from alumni of the Academy, a significant amount comes from people with more indirect experience. Spouses, partners and children of alumni, of course, but also siblings.
Lana Merkel, sister of the late Gregory A. Merkel ’72, is one such person.
In September 2022, Ms. Merkel contacted the Academy about her brother, who had passed away unexpectedly in January, just a few months shy of his 50th Reunion. Ms. Merkel knew it would have meant the world to Mr. Merkel to be there with his classmates, and she wanted to do something to honor his memory.
“I don’t know how many times over the years Greg would credit WMA for all his successes,” Ms. Merkel said. “His time at WMA laid the groundwork for the rest of his life. As I was getting ready to make a donation after his death, I suddenly thought that maybe I could set up some kind of scholarship or ongoing memorial that would benefit students for years to come.”
Fast forward a few months and Ms. Merkel, through a generous gift to the school’s financial aid program, funded the Gregory A. Merkel ’72 Memorial Scholarship. It is aimed at supporting a student of similar character, and with similar interests, as her brother.
A local family from the Sixteen Acres neighborhood of Springfield, Massachusetts, the Merkels were well aware of the Academy, and Mr. Merkel entered as a Grade 9 student in 1968. His admission application indicated interests in stamp and rock collecting, oil and watercolor painting, swimming and volleyball.
“That summer of ’68 was special for both of us kids,” remembered Ms. Merkel. “I was starting my first job after graduating from college, and he was starting at the Academy. We were both between one landmark in life and the next.”
Being eight years Mr. Merkel’s senior, carpool duty fell to Ms. Merkel. Many mornings Mr. Merkel and classmates Dan Kunhardt ’72 and Dr. Mark Keroack ’72 would trundle into the backseat of the family station wagon for the ride to campus.
“I can’t recall if I did it more than his freshman year, but I do recall that they were hilarious,” Ms. Merkel said. “Typical teenage boys in the most charming way. Such good boys. It’s hard to imagine Dan and Mark now as grown men.”
At the Academy, Mr. Merkel was a talented student and was elected to the Cum Laude Society as a junior. A gifted artist, he designed the cover of the 1971 yearbook and had submissions printed in the Rubicon. Athletically, he was co-captain of the soccer team.
Lana recalls his soccer games and two of his art projects.
“One was a mural where everyone in that class painted a dragon they had designed,’’ she said. “The other project was when he chose a photo of a famous statue of Athena from a Greek/Roman book I had. He cut various shapes from construction paper and layered them together to replicate the image. The visual effect was a bit like what you see with paint-by-numbers but more defined and quite beautiful.”

During his senior year, Mr. Merkel took home Barber Prizes in Latin, Physics and Graphic Art. He also netted the Stephen D. Luckraft Memorial Award and the Edward F. Morris Prize. Oh, and he was one of 25 winners of the NASA Skylab Student Experiment Contest.
“WMA was an ideal place for someone like Greg,” Ms. Merkel said. “He always had dozens of interests and a fierce desire to learn that never stopped. The Academy stimulated his mind with its individual attention and academic challenges while also spurring his confidence by recognizing his abilities and accomplishments.”
In a class note submitted in 1976 - during his time at the University of Massachusetts Amherst - Mr. Merkel wrote, “Thanks to the fine preparation which the Academy gave me, my undergraduate years at college have been easier to handle.”
After graduating Phi Beta Cappa from UMass with a degree in geology, Mr. Merkel went to Pennsylvania State University for a doctorate in geochemistry and mineralogy.
He then enjoyed a 40-year career with Corning Inc. His field was that of technical ceramics, and he made significant contributions to many products (eventually developing more than 60 patents for Corning).
As a child, Mr. Merkel developed a love of iridescent glass sparked by his mother’s toothpick holder collection, so perhaps Corning was preordained. During his career not only did he collect artists like Frederick Carder and Louis Tiffany, but he analyzed more than 600 pieces using X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy. This was groundbreaking research that inspired the first exhibitions on the experimentation and technical complexity of glass chemistry. For his passionate work in the field, Mr. Merkel was recognized as a Fellow of the Corning Museum of Glass in 2001 and a trustee of The Neustadt Collection of Tiffany Glass in 2013.
Ms. Merkel lived in Massachusetts for much of her life, working as a federal projects secretary and following her passion for writing. At one point, she made a bit of a name for herself with short stories that appeared in science-fiction fan magazines.
“I wrote stories based on a couple of different popular TV shows,’’ she said. “The letters I received from fans were so dear. I became good pen pal friends with several of them. I still keep notes for a children’s story about an elephant that I hope to write someday.”
Eventually, Mr. Merkel convinced her to move to Elmira, New York, just down the road from Corning. There they shared a passion for the outdoors, nature, scrabble and jigsaw puzzles. Mr. Merkel also turned Ms. Merkel into a fan of soccer.
“Our family was always very close, very precious,’’ Ms. Merkel said. “The older I’ve gotten, the more I’ve realized how extraordinary it was. When we were young, our parents always worried if we were out late. We always called home to reassure them. Later in life, Greg would let me know as soon as he got back safely from traveling because, like our parents, I worried.”
Mr. Merkel remained connected to WMA, submitting class notes, attending his 40th and 45th reunions, and keeping up with classmates in between. Mr. Merkel’s passing hit the class hard, and his absence was felt during their 50th Reunion celebration. However, Ms. Merkel’s creation of the scholarship in his name ensures that Mr. Merkel will continue to always be part of the Academy.
“Our family placed a great emphasis on our education,” Ms. Merkel said. “Our maternal grandfather was taken out of school at 10 years old; our mother finished high school and our father had one year of college. I have a B.A. in English. Greg attained a Ph.D. So it gives me great satisfaction to create this scholarship!
“I know by doing so I’m not only honoring Greg but sharing what a special person he was, and helping and encouraging a succession of young people who otherwise might never have an opportunity for an education like we had.”
WMA thanks Ms. Merkel for her generosity toward our financial aid program. We are honored to award the Gregory A. Merkel ’72 Memorial Scholarship and keep alive the memory of the kind, insatiably curious and talented man that Mr. Merkel was.
If you would like to discuss honoring a loved one through the creation of a scholarship or other support of WMA’s financial aid program, please contact the Office of Advancement: 413.596.9182 or advancement@wma.us.

Liz Wagoner ’01 A Legacy of Gratitude and Giving
By Heather Hamel Director of Alumni Relations
In the tapestry of Wilbraham & Monson Academy’s storied history, few threads stand out as much as Liz Wagoner ’01.
A beacon of gratitude and continuous support, Ms. Wagoner’s story is one of seizing opportunities, giving back and inspiring others to do the same. Celebrating 22 years of consecutive giving, Ms. Wagoner embodies the spirit of WMA, not just in her professional successes but in her profound connection to the Academy.
A Foundation of Family and Opportunity
Ms. Wagoner’s journey at WMA began as a Grade 8 student, when she quickly fell into and embraced the prep school environment. Her father, Pete Wagoner, had known of WMA through his work in admissions at other prep schools in the New England area and had come to know the then-Director of Admissions David Beecher. In 1997, Mr. Wagoner joined the admissions team, drawing Ms. Wagoner and her family deeply into the WMA community.
Living on Rich 2 as dorm parents and a family, Ms. Wagoner recalls the experience fondly: "It was really fun. When I was younger, it was like having 20 big brothers around all the time, and as I got older, living with the senior boys and PGs on campus just added to the fun."
Her living situation, though different from most, fostered a unique sense of family and belonging that Ms. Wagoner cherishes to this day. The opportunities Ms. Wagoner had at WMA are not lost on her.
"I felt so lucky to have had the chance to come to WMA," she reflected. "I knew when I was there, it was really important to take advantage of everything the Academy had to offer."
And take advantage she did, participating in a range of activities that shaped her leadership and athletic skills. From captaining the cross country team to playing lacrosse and pursuing an independent study in squash — a sport she continued in college — Ms. Wagoner’s involvement was deep and impactful.
Ms. Wagoner credits WMA for her fundamental academic and personal development. She reflects on how the Academy nurtured her abilities, particularly through influential teachers and a wide array of classroom options.
"I truly feel like I learned how to read and write at WMA," she said, emphasizing how classes like Dr. Mark Warburton’s English class really set her up to be a strong student in college and eventually grad school.
Ms. Wagoner also benefited from various school clubs on campus, like the student senate where she was president her senior year. Even in summer, when most students have fled the campus, you could find Ms. Wagoner sitting behind a desk or running paperwork as an intern in the Admission Office at WMA.

Pathways to Professional Success
After WMA, Ms. Wagoner attended Bates College, where the familiar face of a fellow alumnus (Ramon Garcia ’00) provided immediate comfort.
Her studies in rhetoric and history, coupled with her involvement in varsity squash at Bates, helped to continue building on the foundation she had begun at WMA.
Soon after college, Ms. Wagoner applied for a role in marketing at Boston University, where they very politely told her she was amazing but had no marketing experience. Looking through Ms. Wagoner’s resume, they found her admissions work at WMA and she landed an entry level position working in admissions at the business school at BU.
Since then, Ms. Wagoner has continued down the admissions path, working at Tufts University on their international affairs admissions team. She eventually went back to BU, where she climbed the ranks to become the Senior Director of Admissions at Questrom School of Business, where she passionately oversees admissions for an affordable, high-quality online MBA program.
"Education is incredibly important to me," Ms. Wagoner explained. "I’m rooted in the educational opportunities I’ve had, and I love that I can help provide that for others."
A Heart for Giving
Ms. Wagoner’s commitment to WMA has been unwavering. As co-chair of the Atlas Fund, a class agent, a familiar face at alumni events and 22 years of consecutive giving, her involvement is resolute.
"So much of my foundation was at Wilbraham, and I just feel so grateful for that," she said of her gratitude that is the cornerstone of her giving philosophy, driving her to create opportunities for others just as WMA did for her.
Ms. Wagoner’s impact extends beyond financial contributions. Whether it’s writing a letter, organizing a committee or simply showing up, her dedication is palpable.
"If my contributions as an alum can positively impact a student’s life, that’s the reason I show up — it’s all about making a meaningful difference," she said.
Ms. Wagoner hopes to be a small part of opening a door for someone else who may be just where she was as a student at WMA.
Inspiring Future Generations
Ms. Wagoner’s story is more than a testament to the power of giving; it’s a call to action for all WMA alumni to consider how they, too, can impact future generations. Her journey from a student living in a dormitory to a leader in educational access highlights the transformative power of a WMA education and the enduring bonds it creates.
As we celebrate Ms. Wagoner’s contributions, we are reminded of the ripple effect one person’s generosity can have. Her legacy of giving back is not just about financial contributions but about fostering a community that supports, nurtures and values each of its members. Ms. Wagoner’s life and work are shining examples of how gratitude can manifest into lasting change, inspiring all of us to give back to the places that have shaped us.
To the current and future students of WMA, Ms. Wagoner’s story is a reminder of the doors that education can open. Her message is clear: Embrace your opportunities, cherish your community and always find a way to give back.
As we look to the future, let us carry forward the legacy of gratitude and generosity that Liz Wagoner so beautifully exemplifies.
At Home. In the World.
Annie Kandel
Director of Annual Giving
I have been part of the WMA family for the past two years and my experience at the school has shown me that our students really do transcend boundaries. The faculty teach with a global perspective: students are not just learning about the world but are actively engaging with it. WMA graduates develop a deep understanding and appreciation for the world around them, fostering a true sense of belonging in a global context.
As the incoming Director of Annual Giving for WMA, my goal is to inspire a community of engaged and dedicated supporters to donate to the Atlas Fund so as to ensure that every student can achieve their full potential. WMA is a special place; one where rigorous academics, innovative creation and character development flourish. Each and every gift contributes to a transformative experience for our students and a legacy of impact for the future.
The Atlas Fund enhances every facet of the WMA experience, including academic offerings, athletics, the arts, faculty professional development, financial aid and international travel. I witness firsthand - daily - the amazing work we are doing with our students, and it energizes me to support this crucial work by encouraging the generous philanthropy which directs critical resources to the Atlas Fund.
Farewell, Sarah!
Many may ask, "If Ms. Kandel has taken over, where is Sarah?" After 24 years at WMA, Sarah Wakelin P’18 accepted a position in the Advancement Office at Westfield State University last May.
As Director of Annual Giving for nearly a quarter century and Parents Association Liaison for 18 years, Ms. Wakelin was a cornerstone of the Academy’s Advancement team and a key player in our fundraising success.
She leaves behind a tremendous legacy and some very big shoes to fill (no pressure, Ms. Kandel!). WMA wishes Ms. Wakelin the greatest success in her new role. We know she won’t be a stranger!

Michael J. Thompson A Model of Generosity and Commitment at WMA
By Sean Valentine Director of Stewardship & Planned Giving
When asked why he and his wife, Claire, decided to include Wilbraham & Monson Academy as part of their estate plan, Michael Thompson’s response is immediate and emphatic.
“The people are what attracted us in the beginning,” he said. “You can’t beat the faculty, staff and students of WMA. It really is like one big family. We want to honor that and keep that tradition going.”
A great many people within the WMA community would say Mr. Thompson did much to contribute to that feeling of family. Why? Probably because no matter what role Mr. Thompson had over the years he spent at the Academy (and there were several), he was always recognized for his positivity, professionalism and humor.
Michael J. Thompson
“Without any exaggeration, Mike Thompson probably has the best combination of compassion and wisdom of anyone I’ve ever met,” said Mike Mannix, Leadership Giving Officer and Prep Basketball Head Coach.
“Mike was, and is, a fantastic person,” Associate College Counselor Sandi Scott said. “Students loved him and parents respected him. He and Claire were fixtures around here.”
A teacher and guidance counselor in the Chicopee (Massachusetts) Public Schools starting in 1969, Mr. Thompson did his undergrad at Providence College, earned his Master of Secondary Education Administration from Westfield State College, and a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Studies in Guidance and Psychological Services from Springfield College.
He coached high school soccer and golf, but it was basketball that made Mr. Thompson’s name known in Western Massachusetts and what brought him initially to WMA.
Mr. Thompson coached the Chicopee High School girls basketball team from 1980-1990, with 10 straight appearances in the Western Massachusetts Division I tournament and four titles. He then coached the women’s basketball team at Western New England University.
During this time, he developed Mike Thompson’s Championship Basketball Camp, which ran nearly every summer from 1984 through the late 1990s. From the mid-’90s until its end, the camp utilized WMA’s Greenhalgh Gymnasium. A connection sprouted from there.
“I knew the Academy from my summers running the camp in the gym,” he said. “In 1995, I was approached to take over as coach of the girls varsity basketball team and I agreed.”
Mr. Thompson’s hiring was a sign to everyone, especially the players, that WMA was taking the team seriously. In his first season with WMA, the team went from scoring 10 points a game to scoring 80 and closed with a 10-4 record.
Mike Thompson as the New Girls Varsity Basketball Coach
A few years later, the Academy found itself in need of a Director of College Counseling. Mr. Thompson, who had been working in the same position at Chicopee High School, was approached by then Head of School Richard Malley. Would he be interested in coming to WMA full-time? Yes. Yes, he would.
“It was hard to leave Chicopee after nearly three decades, but also easy to say yes,” he said. “I already knew many of the students, and the faculty and staff made me feel so comfortable. I got acclimated fast, which was good considering how much work there was to do!”
Today, the WMA College Counseling Office has five staff members. When Mr. Thompson took over in 1997, it had two … including him.
“It was just me and Christine (Alibrandi), and she was part time,” he said. “Class sizes were maybe a little smaller than today, but I still had anywhere from 80 to 95 seniors to help with their college searches and applications. I knew I’d have to work out a different strategy to ensure each student’s success.”
Mr. Thompson decided the best thing he could do was “prime the pump” during a student’s sophomore year. He started once-a-week seminars for small groups of sophomores to introduce them to the college selection and application process. This way students came into their junior year with a greater understanding of what to expect, and perhaps some idea of what they might want to study or what kind of school they would want to attend. Seminars continued in the winter of their junior year, and he began meeting with students one-on-one in January of junior year.
“I could prep the sophomore class, hit the ground running with a better-prepared junior class, while also working more one-on-one with each senior during the fall semester," he said. "It was the only way to manage the load, but it worked. In 2000, I was able to hire Sandi (Scott) as my full-time admin, and that helped immensely.”
Ms. Scott, who remains part of the College Counseling Office, continues to be in awe of what he accomplished.
“Mike was a one-man show,’’ she said. “He did everything. Ran the seminars himself. Hand-wrote every recommendation letter, met with every student multiple times and worked with all the parents. I still can’t fathom how he did it while still coaching!”
Mr. Thompson’s impact even reached the Head of School’s Office. In the early 2000s, Mr. Malley stepped down as Head of School. Coincidentally, Mr. Thompson’s friend and high school classmate Rodney LaBrecque had recently reached out to say he was looking for new opportunities. Mr. Thompson made some introductions and, after a formal search, Mr. LaBrecque became Head in 2002.

After a decade as Director of College Counseling, Mr. Thompson decided to go back to the public school system, first at Central High School in Springfield, Massachusetts, and then at Ludlow High School.
“I left Chicopee with a few years of public service remaining to secure my pension. I told Mr. Malley, and then Rodney, that I always intended to go back and complete those years,” Mr. Thompson said.
“Mike created a top-flight college counseling program and was widely recognized as a leader in college placement within public, private and independent school circles,” said current Director of College Counseling John Boozang. “Finding the right ‘fit’ through self-reflection was a defining quality and the guiding principle of his curriculum. WMA graduates benefitted from his unwavering commitment to helping them identify and matriculate to schools aligned with their unique aspirations, preferences and interests.”
You can take the person out of WMA, but it’s sometimes harder to get WMA out of the person. After adding enough years to claim his pension, Mr. Thompson returned to the Academy; this time as Assistant Director of Admission.
“I think (current faculty marshal) Don Kelly put it best. He told me ‘Well, Mike, you’ve gone from shipping to receiving,’” Mike Thompson said.
Rather than guiding current students on the first steps beyond their WMA experience, Mr. Thompson now applied his deep understanding of the Academy to prospective students taking their first steps toward a WMA experience.
“I had seen how WMA transforms students into the fullest version of themselves,” he said. “At graduation, parents would come up to me and tell me about the impact of the school on their kids. Moving to Admissions, to play a part in guiding young people to a place that I knew would have a positive effect on them, that was wonderful.”
“Fun. That’s the word that comes to mind about Mike,” said Kate Gaw, Director of Admission & Financial Aid. “You could tell he just loved his work. He always came in with a smile and a lot of positive energy. He made us all laugh, and I mean deep belly-aching laugh, at jokes and stories. His skills from College Counseling transferred completely. He was great with families and highly respected.”
Sadly for WMA, all good things do come to an end, and after four years of shepherding new Titans into the WMA community, Mr. Thompson retired in 2014. When combined with Mrs. Thompson’s decade as WMA’s Legal Counsel, the Thompsons served the Academy for nearly a quarter century.
“When Mike retired people came out of the woodwork to recognize him,” Ms. Scott said. “Students, parents, former faculty, everyone wanted to express how much he and Claire had meant to them and done for them. We got so many letters and emails. I put them into a special book for them.”
Some didn’t believe Mr. Thompson was really retiring. After all, he had “left” once before and, in a way, they were kind of right. Mr. Thompson has maintained a close connection with the Academy, especially to scout out the girls basketball team.
“He comes pretty much every fall to watch us practice,” Girls Varsity Basketball Head Coach Durelle Brown said. “He always says hello to the returning players, and I introduce him to the new ones. He’ll give pointers to the girls and feedback to me on my coaching. He has become a mentor to me, and his insights are incredibly valuable. At the time I took over, I didn’t understand the depth of what Mike had accomplished in his coaching career. He was - and ispretty modest about himself and his record, but Mike’s forgotten more about basketball than I’ll ever know.”

Mr. Thompson said it all comes back to people and the transformational power of WMA.
“Claire and I have so many friends from WMA and have supported each other through the ups and downs of life. That’s the thing about schools like WMA. I didn’t understand it at first, all those years ago, but the Academy just attracts the best people, and those people do the most amazing things for the students. You can watch it happen. Sometimes Trustees would ask me what the school needed, and I would always say help us attract and keep the best people. They’ll take care of the rest.”
By including the Academy in their estate, the Thompsons are helping ensure WMA can do just that. WMA is deeply grateful for their generosity and commitment.

Dear WMA Alumni, Parents and Friends:
The response has been overwhelmingly positive since the announcement of The Legacy of Excellence Campaign.
More than $4.5 million in new or updated planned gifts have been generated in less than
What is The Legacy of Excellence Campaign?
A first of its kind in WMA’s long history, this campaign seeks to increase the Academy’s endowment through bequests and other forms of planned gifts to the Academy.
Our goal: $50M in total planned gifts.
Why the focus on planned giving?
WMA’s endowment provides only a small portion of our yearly budget. The majority comes from tuition and annual contributions. While enrollment and fundraising remain strong, the Academy is vulnerable to forces beyond its control. Growing the endowment can flip this narrative, putting WMA firmly in the driver’s seat and creating the financial foundation to keep WMA a preeminent educational institution for generations to come.
Planned gifts are the easiest way for all members of the WMA community to help make this
If you have made WMA part of your estate plan, please contact us so you can be counted in the campaign and honored for your generosity.
If you have not made WMA part of your estate, consider doing so. It is easier than you may think, with many methods available and helping hands to guide you. Join us on this journey of legacy and impact.

“I came to WMA with little experience or interest in the arts. From the plethora or creative art classes that WMA offers, my love for painting was born. Painting went from an assignment to an activity I love and do outside of school. I never would’ve discovered my love for art without the amazing courses the school offers.”
