Flint Hill Alumni,

Recently, we launched the Flint Hill Class of 2024 into the world, ready to make their mark, just as they have done so within our Flint Hill community.

Of these 142 students, about half began in the Lower or Middle School, with the other half joining us in the Upper School. We have 14 seniors who are “lifers” (having begun at Flint Hill in Junior Kindergarten or Kindergarten) and two “almost lifers,” who started in Kindergarten, moved away for a short span, and then returned to complete their education here. We have one senior who is the last of four Flint Hill students in their respective families to graduate, as well as another seven seniors who are the last of three Flint Hill students in their respective families to graduate.

Whether they started with us at age 4 or 14, the members of the Class of 2024, along with their families and our faculty and staff, have been on a journey during their time at Flint Hill. This is the group that entered high school at an uncertain time – the fall of 2020. These students have weathered uncertainty, pivots, and changes, and have emerged stronger, smarter, and – perhaps – more steeled than any 18-year-old should be. They’ve shown grit and determination, while also pressing us to define a new normal that prioritizes health and wellbeing, creativity and connections, and an ongoing commitment to our Husky community.

Throughout their time here, the Class of 2024 has shown a care for one another and this community that reverberated in our hallways, theater and concert performances, athletic competitions, and community events. They have lived our Core Values, and pushed us to be better everyday. Because that’s what good teams do – and we are one Husky team.

Our graduating seniors are eager for college and life beyond Flint Hill, buoyed by the encouragement that I hear from seemingly every one of my alumni conversations – a true sense of self, of connections to classmates and teachers, of academic preparedness for college (every college-aged alum I speak with tells me how they thrive based on the skills and approaches they learned at Flint Hill), and willingness to blaze their own trail on campuses, in the professional world, and in service to a greater good.

Alumni, please welcome the Flint Hill Class of 2024 into your ranks, and know that we – as a school community – are eager to support you and their continued success, however possible.
