STRENGTHENING ALUMNAE CONNECTIONS
Crofton House alumnae are part of a diverse network of more than 4,500 graduates, and every one is a vital part of our school’ s living history and evolving future.
The CHS strategic plan, Thriving in Possibility, calls on us to deepen our sense of belonging and build bridges between the past, present and future. Since joining Crofton House School in January as Manager, Alumnae Relations, I have seen this vision in action across our community. The School’ s Alumnae Relations team focuses on connecting alumnae and current students, working in partnership with the CHS Alumnae Association to deepen these opportunities and relationships.
This spring, the Alumnae Relations team had the privilege of meeting more than 100 alumnae during visits to Toronto, Montreal, Kingston and New York. These gatherings reminded us of the enduring connection Crofton
What stood out most was the sense of continuity and shared identity. No matter the year they graduated, alumnae reflected on their time at CHS with genuine warmth and pride.
That spirit is also present here on campus. CHS alumnae generously give back to the next generations of Crofton House graduates, sharing their invaluable experiences and insights at assemblies, engaging thoughtfully with students in classes, and mentoring at the annual Career Conference. Alumnae also continue to celebrate and participate in cherished campus traditions like the Winter Bazaar, the Carol Service and the School Birthday.
Looking ahead, I am excited to continue expanding the ways CHS alumnae connect in person and online through CroftonConnect.
To those alumnae I’ ve had the pleasure of meeting this year, thank you for the warm welcome. To those I have yet to meet, I hope we’ ll cross paths soon. Together, we’ re building a powerful legacy— one conversation, one connection, one story at a time.
