One of Thetford Academy's newer traditions is our annual Thanksgiving luncheon, an all-school gathering before the holiday.

This tradition is a favorite at TA, not just for the delicious food, but for the laughter, conversation, and community that a only a shared meal can bring. Our deepest appreciation to the staff and volunteers that helped make it happen this year. ...

This weekend, the Thetford Academy Drama department wowed audiences with five rousing performances of the fall play "Puffs: Or Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic." The play, a parody of the Harry Potter series following "the other" students at a wizarding academy, is a joy-filled romp about making it through high school, finding yourself, and learning the value of true friendship. TA's production of "Puffs" was both immersive and impressive, the talented actors were supported by (or in many cases doubled as) skilled theater technicians - with lighting, sound, set, costumes, and choreography that brought...
