In a beautiful graduation ceremony on TA's front lawn last Friday, we said goodbye and good luck to the 68 seniors in the class of 2018. We are so proud of every one of these students--now Thetford Academy alumni—and can't wait to see what they will accomplish in their next endeavors. With the end of the school year and the traditions of Class Day and graduation inevitably comes the end of Thetford Academy's fiscal year. This year, we'd like to honor our 68 graduates by asking for your support of their alma mater. Please join us, as our alumni community, and help...

June’s Student of the Month is a senior who produces excellent work, assignment after assignment. He is not just about getting the work done; he is about depth, substance, and often clever humor. He does not call attention to himself if his double-meanings or subtle jokes go unnoticed, but he certainly lets out a smile when individuals take notice. He is a true scholar who seeks feedback and views setbacks as an opportunity to improve. He stretches himself intellectually and will try something even though it may be difficult. The first time Ms. Chambers saw this young man, she was very...
