| Shaping Solebury
The Shaping Solebury campaign is underway, supporting the first phase of Solebury School’s master plan with three priorities: student living spaces, faculty and staff living spaces, and an expanded campus with responsible systems. Our 140-acre campus allows for new construction, which requires improved infrastructure that will support a larger, environmentally responsible school and re-siting of some athletic fields. We are already seeing changes to campus and have some exciting opportunities to maximize giving through matches from the Edward E. Ford Foundation and the Abbe Family ’59. Visit shaping.krissystems.com for more information—and keep checking back for construction updates! |

This past May, we were thrilled to welcome back over 100 alumni to campus. As they reconnected with one another in person, we remembered those who have departed and honored both our newest class for the Athletic Hall of Fame and the memory of former Athletic Director Rob Eichem P’18 ’24. We also celebrated the storied career and retirement of longtime basketball coach Cleve Christie. Click here for a slideshow of the weekend.
