15-Year Reunion

It was great to see 16 classmates from 2001—from as far west as California and as far east as Germany. Some classmates joined Worcester Academy for all of the weekend’s events and were amazed to see the changes on campus; notably the new Performance Center and the changes at Walker Hall. Thank you to everyone that came: Angela Bonnici, Jill Cameron, Eva Nazarewicz, Seth Goldberg, Irina Slepak, Jen Glowik, Mark DiStefano, Judy Wilbur, Will Treese, Kathleen Irving, Rebecca Silver, Melinda Richardson, Alexis Singh, Josh Ritz, Luke M. Vaillancourt and Urs Klingsporn.

We know it was a challenge for everyone to join us… some because of the holiday weekend and others for reasons beyond their control. Mark your calendars for 2021… we would love to see everyone join us as we celebrate our 20th.

Whether you haven’t been up to campus since your days of class, or you visit whenever you are in Worcester, we hope that you’ll be able to attend the 10-year reunion.
