The Winchendon School is the best college prep school for students with significant unrealized potential. Your gift to The Winchendon School impacts the lives of hundreds of students and their families each year. Thanks to the loyal support of alumni, parents, grandparents, friends, faculty, and staff, businesses, and corporations, Winchendon has grown tremendously over the past 94 years and has stayed true to the School’s mission of individually transforming the lives of individual students. Your gift matters.
Making Winch Greener… A Foot at A Time
As The Winchendon School is one of the few independent without an artificial turf field, we are thrilled our baseball, softball, lacrosse, and soccer athletes will finally be able to host athletic games on these first-class fields.
Your tremendous support will help us achieve our ambitious goal of updating two of our principal athletic fields to artificial turf.
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.
