WELCOME

We are thrilled to launch the new monthly Alumni Newsletter!

You—our Panther Alumni—are incredibly important to us at Ranney School and we want to celebrate your legacy, offer you networking and mentoring opportunities, and keep you connected to your alma mater.

We invite you to:

Spread the word about this new monthly newsletter (and share news for the Class Notes)
Invite friends to register for Ranney Alumni Network (our very own Panther LinkedIn)
Post and share content to the Ranney Alum private Facebook group
Connect with us to plan class events or share other ideas

The school has hired me, Camille Sinkhorn, to build alumni programs that are meaningful to you. We have also launched an Alumni Leadership Council (read more below).

Although the pandemic kept us physically apart, we are determined to be connected more than ever. We look forward to reaching you virtually knowing that one day soon we’ll be able to reunite again in person.

Sincerely,

Camille Sinkhorn

Introducing the Alumni Leadership Council

In March, Ranney launched the Ranney Alumni Leadership Council (ALC), a sub-committee of the Board of Trustees focused on increasing alumni engagement in all aspects of school life. With representation from across the decades, the ALC will work closely with the school's administration and Advancement team to create better opportunities for alumni to participate and reconnect with their alma mater.

Ranney ROUNDUP

T. Thomas Fortune Merit Scholarship

In February, Ranney announced the T. Thomas Fortune Merit Scholarship, a program designed to recognize incoming 9th-grade students of color for their outstanding academic achievement with a full, four-year merit award for Upper School.

Virtual Alumni College Panel

In March, a panel of alumni hosted a Zoom meeting with 11th and 12th-grade students to talk about academics, transitioning to college, making friends, and dining hall options.

Richard G. Leister Baseball Field Dedication

In April, Ranney honored Richard G. Leister, a beloved member of the Operations Team, as the newly renovated baseball field was dedicated in his memory thanks to the generosity of Upper School parents Gary and Jo Chropuvka. The project was also made possible thanks to the generosity of the Gracia, Celler, and Presutti families, as well as other donors to the Ranney Fund.
