Learn about our tour guides, their interests, and why they love Loomis Chaffee.
This year, more than 200 students have volunteered to be tour guides for Loomis Chaffee — almost half of all students in grades 10–12 — including 14 head tour guides, traditionally one of the most highly-respected leadership positions on campus. This number is a huge testament to the love our Pelicans have for their school and to their enthusiasm for sharing it with prospective families. While your visit will not include all 200+ tour guides, the following searchable database is available to you to learn more about our tour guides, their interests, and why they love Pelican Nation. Enjoy!
