Alumni

The Thetford Academy community includes over 3,000 active alumni. The shared experience of a TA education creates strong bonds, lifelong friendships, and a supportive network for current students and recent alumni.

TA alumni work in diverse careers and live across the globe, with many returning to their “home” at Thetford  Academy for reunions and events. Our alumni are an important part of TA’s  more than 200-year history–and active participants in our present and future.

Every alumnus/alumna is a de facto member of the Thetford Academy Alumni Association  (TAAA) upon graduation from TA. TAAA is a volunteer-led organization with a mission to support Thetford Academy through fundraising and events. Each year, TAAA hosts several events that support the school and bring together alumni from all generations.

In the fall, TAAA runs concessions for the Woods Trail Run and the cross country state meet and donates the proceeds back to TA through grants. They also host the annual holiday craft bazaar, raising money to support academic departments and student activities at TA. All alumni are invited to donate in memory of  a loved one who will be honored with a bulb on TAAA’s “Memory Tree.”

Survey says…we need your input to make being a TA alum even better! 

Thetford Academy wants to hear from you! Let us know how you’d like to stay engaged with your classmates and TA community in the 2026 Alumni Survey. All participants will be entered to win a TA sweatshirt of their choice from the school store!
