In October, Thornton Academy launched a revamped
web site at www.thorntonacademy.org.
According to Information Technology Director Ben
Nasse ’93, it’s now easier than ever to see what’s happening at TA, whether it’s the score for a recent basketball game, an upcoming parent-teacher meeting or the
performance dates of the school play.
“The site is user friendly and is full of great information that’s updated frequently,” Nasse said.
Log on and enjoy the site’s new look, better functionality and improved communication tools. You can go on a
virtual campus tour, e-mail a teacher, see what events are
on the school calendar, look through a gallery of reunion
photos, make a gift to the Thornton Fund or submit a
change of address to make sure you receive future issues of Postscripts. Details about major projects like the
residence hall currently under construction will also be
shared online.
TA staff developed the site with WhippleHill Communications, which specializes in providing a rich online
presence for independent schools.
Thornton Academy teachers, students and parents
will continue to use TAOnline, which operates as a virtual
classroom.

Thornton Academy’s updated web site can be accessed at www.thorntonacademy.
org. Check it out to see the latest sports scores, read about upcoming events, learn
about reunions in 2009, or get the low down on recent activities and educational
programs.
