A Letter From our Chief Advancement Officer
Dear Cheshire Academy Community,
This past year has been remarkable thanks to the dedication of our community. We are especially proud that –– for the second year in a row –– 99% of our employees made contributions, demonstrating the deep commitment our faculty and staff have to Cheshire Academy’s mission. These numbers reflect more than statistics –– they represent lives changed, opportunities created, and a community united in purpose.
To every donor, volunteer, and supporter: thank you. Your generosity empowers us to provide an exceptional education that prepares students for success in college and beyond. Whether your gift supports financial aid, academics, student life, or another category, you are making a tangible difference in the lives of our students. We are grateful for your partnership in advancing Cheshire Academy’s mission and look forward to sharing our continued progress with you.
With gratitude,
Joe Long

Your Stories: Why We Give
“I support Cheshire Academy because it made a transformational difference in my life. The beautiful campus, the exceptional classroom experience, and the personal guidance from faculty led me on a path to success in college and my career.”
Kimberly Cotton Hoyt ’85
“Cheshire Academy was and is a second home. Having received many life lessons, amazing memories and incredible long-lasting friendships from all over the world, It is hard not to give back!”
Jonathan Marks ’00
"Cheshire Academy was more than a school to me. As a faculty kid, it was "home" – a place where I could rely on the people around me for guidance and support. When I first began donating to the school more than 20 years ago, it was to honor those experiences and people who helped shape who I am now. Today, I have the unique opportunity to see CA through a different lens – watching how it is shaping the life of my nephew Ricardo '25. I am so thankful that he has the support and guidance of faculty, staff, and fellow students to help him navigate high school and explore new interests. Now, I donate to ensure all students continue to have the incredible support and opportunities that I have seen Cheshire Academy provide to generation after generation of kids.”
Jenny Dupre '02
“We give to Cheshire Academy because we believe in the school’s mission. We have seen the ways in which students thrive here who might not have thrived to the same degree or in the same way elsewhere. Beyond this, Cheshire Academy is both literally and figurative home for us. So, we are grateful for the opportunities it allows us to provide our students and the opportunities it has provided us.”
Marc Aronson, Dean of Faculty & Academic Life, and Matthew Socia, Varsity Fencing Coach
