The 1926 Society

In honor of The Winchendon School’s founding year

Thanks to the support of alumni, parents, grandparents, friends, faculty, and staff, businesses, and corporations, Winchendon has grown tremendously over the past 93 years but has stayed true to the School’s mission of transforming the lives of individual students.  The 1926 Society exists to help grow our culture of philanthropy, create lifelong connectedness, and recognize and thank Winchendon’s donors who demonstrate their belief in the school and in our diverse community through their annual gifts.

While all gifts are gratefully received, The 1926 Society recognizes and celebrates donors who give $1,000 or more during the fiscal year to any Winchendon fund or funds. Young alumni who have graduated in the last ten years will be recognized at lower levels based on their class year.

Annual Giving Societies (September 1 – August 31)

Involvement in the 1926 Society is more than a reflection of one’s belief in the mission of The Winchendon School, it is an annual investment in our transformative education.
