Alumni CommunityWelcome to the Alumni section of the new website! We hope you will stay in touch with the Academy and join us in our support of the quality education of today's young people that you once received. The photo above is the Alumni Courtyard dedicated on the 40th Anniversary of Academy in honor of the three founding families, Monroe, Simmons and Stephens. The original bell from the 1889 school house is housed in a tower built by Christopher Bruce for his Eagle Scout project. It is rung daily 6 times to start the school day in recognition of these parents. Alumni in the News
Jenny O'Shaughnessy, CA Class of 2006
Connor Ahlborn, CA Class of 2003
Ahlborn, a native of Falls Church, Va., was just three centimeters off the school record mark, set by Felicia Tsai ’07 at the 2007 NCAA Championships. One of 15 competitors in the weight throw, Ahlborn led the field through the preliminary round before slipping back into the fifth position in the finals. She and St. Lawrence University junior Alyssa Pirinelli were the only two Liberty League representatives in the women’s weight throw at this year’s National Meet. Pirinelli, who is the reigning Liberty League champion in the event, produced a throw of 53'3.75" (16.25 meters) good for seventh overall at Nationals. This was the first-ever appearance at the NCAA Championships for Ahlborn, who earned her spot at the national meet after posting a then-season’s best throw of 16.31 meters at the ECAC Championships. The Peddie School graduate posted numerous top-ten finishes during the indoor season, including a victory at the season-opening Tufts Invitational and the Smith Tartan Classic. Ahlborn finished no lower than seventh in the eight meets she was entered and was runner-up at the Liberty League Championships.
