On Saturday, July 3, TA was excited to host the Class of 2001 for their 20th Thetford Academy Reunion. The day's rainy weather threw a slight monkey wrench in the plans for the outdoor gathering, but the shelter of TA's timber framed outdoor classroom kept the fifteen class members, their partners and children, dry (enough) for a fun day together. 2001 alum and TA staff member Molly Dugan-Sullivan took the group on a campus tour, sharing the latest updates about TA's programs and facilities–and also the traditions that have endured through the decades. With the help of yearbooks and photo...

TA's varsity baseball team had a banner season that took them all the way to the State finals. The top-seeded Panthers headed to Centennial Field on Sunday, June 13, with hopes of bringing home a championship banner for the first time in 35 years.
