Congratulations to our varsity boys basketball team, Thetford Academy's newest state champions! Thetford Academy topped rival Hazen in a exciting, hard-fought game in the Barre Auditorium this weekend.

Guest post from Alpine Ski Coach Paul Dixon We had an action packed end of the season with virtually back to back races with the Southern District Championship at Bromley on Friday the 1st.
