Welcoming Alumni and Board Members Back to Campus

The past few months have been filled with moments of reconnection and celebration at Woodstock. From the reopening of Parker Hall to the visit of our Board members, and many alumni returning to the hillside, campus has been alive with stories, laughter, and the familiar warmth of the Woodstock community. These visits remind us of the strong bonds that continue to unite our global alumni family and the school’s enduring spirit.

Welcome Back, Board Members

We were delighted to welcome our Board members back to campus this term. Their visit included engaging discussions, planning sessions, and opportunities to interact with students and staff. Several of our Board members are also alumni, making their time at Woodstock even more meaningful as they continue to support the school’s vision and growth.

To mark the occasion, a special tea was hosted for local alumni, providing a lovely opportunity for conversation and connection among Board members, alumni, and staff.
