Thank you to everyone who made a gift to the Hilltopper Fund during our fall campaign. Your support allows us to offer new and innovative educational opportunities that are based on experiential learning. Every donation gives our faculty a chance to be original and imaginative in inspiring our students to become our creative, courageous, and compassionate future. Our community’s dedication to and generous support of Elgin Academy and of our Hilltoppers is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

In the last few months, Anne-Elise Parker, Director of Personalized Learning, has been busy providing academic, social, and emotional support to students. 

On Thursday, November 1st, the Upper School Fall Athletic Awards Night was held in the Rider Center Fourth Floor Commons to honor over 80 student-athletes and celebrated Coaches Awards, Most Improved Players, Most Valuable Players, and Varsity Letters. Congratulations to all our athletes!

On Thursday, October 18th the Spizzwinks, a male a cappella group from Yale University, brought their unique blend of music and humor to Elgin Academy.  Their repertoire included an eclectic range of songs—everything from Ed Sheeran, to the Beatles to Bruno Mars. The a cappella concert also included a few Yale classics and a touch of tongue-in-cheek humor.

On Friday, November 2nd, close to 50 Middle School athletes and their families attended a special night in the Rider Room of Sears Hall to celebrate the fall athletic season.
