Congratulations and welcome to the Loomis Chaffee Class of 2020! No matter how you found your way to our "Island," you are now a part of our community and a part of the graduating class. Every year, new students have joined this class and our returning students always get excited to meet those who have decided to become fellow Pelicans. The energy you will bring to our community, your maturity as an experienced student, your desire to gain as much as you can from our school in just one year — all of these factors impact Loomis Chaffee in memorable ways each year. You may well already have a specific area of focus, and I would urge you to push beyond that and discover the enormous scope of academic, club, and co-curricular offerings here on campus. Dive in and fellow students and teachers will be thrilled that you have joined in the experience. To help you acclimate, we will offer a day on campus for all of you in June to meet with the Academic Office, the College Guidance Office, and me to help you to address some specific needs and continue to get to know the campus. You'll also have an orientation in the fall when you get to know each other as well as the new juniors. I hope you'll join us for Revisit Day and make the commitment to become a part of the LC Class of 2020!

Senior/Post-Graduate Year Highlights!

Special orientation designed for new seniors and post-graduates
You will begin your year at Loomis with a special orientation in June designed specifically to address concerns of new seniors and post-graduates; this program will give you a great head start to your time on the Island. During orientation you will meet with your dean, your director of studies, and the College Guidance Office.
Learning from great faculty
Meet Betsy Conger – Science teacher and head coach of girls varsity softball. We asked Ms. Conger what class is her favorite to teach. "I love teaching Environmental Science partly because I have such a strong interest myself in stewardship and because the students are often interested but don't know a lot [about Environmental Science] coming in. I tell my students that my goal for them is to become environmentally literate citizens. I want them to understand what questions to ask and how to weigh evidence to make informed decisions."
Awesome dorm heads who make boarding life comfortable and fun
Meet your dorm heads and learn a little more about what makes living at Loomis a great experience.
A comprehensive College Counseling Program
It has long been said that much of college guidance is about relationships — between student and counselor, between school and college, between counselor and parent. We pride ourselves on these relationships and view them as elemental to our roles, but we also know that a vibrant and dynamic college counseling program encompasses much more.
Senior Traditions
As seniors and post-graduates, you will be part of the Class of 2020 — student leaders on campus for the 2019-20 academic year. During this time, you will also enjoy a series of senior traditions that include signing your name in the Founders Cupola, walking the senior path, senior projects, senior trip and class dinner, prom, Class Night, and early graduation.
Welcome from the Class of 2020 Class Officers
Congratulations on your acceptance to Loomis Chaffee! The Class of 2020 is filled with a diverse and welcoming group of scholars, athletes, artists, and many more unique, talented students. As your class officers, we hope you decide to join us this fall. We look forward to seeing you on the Island for a Revisit Day and also next year!

Class Officers, Class of 2020
Welcome from the Director of Athletics
Congratulations on your acceptance to Loomis! Many students accepted for 11th and 12th grades and post-graduate years come to Loomis as accomplished student-athletes looking for new challenges. Here you will find a great academic program, highly competitive athletics, and fellow student athletes who are leaders within our diverse community. Our outstanding coaching and strength and conditioning staff — knowledgeable in their sport and committed to competitive excellence — look forward to working with you and helping you improve and grow as athletes and good citizens. Often a student's fondest memories and lasting friendships are forged through playing sports at Loomis even if only for a year or two. We believe that athletics are an extension of the classroom, providing students opportunities to learn more about themselves as well as the value of sport.
If you have any questions as you consider your options for next year, please contact me at sue_cabot@loomis.org. I look forward to seeing you at a Revisit Day soon.
Sue Cabot
Athletics Director
