On Friday, May 15, and Saturday, May 16, as Milton students attended classes, 620 alumni, from graduation classes every five years before 2021 (e.g., 2016, 1991), arrived on campus for Reunion Weekend, marking the first time in fifteen years that the event has taken place during the school year.
On April 3, while many public schools across Massachusetts closed in observance of Good Friday, Milton Academy remained in session, offering transportation to local church services and a space for reflection instead. However, only a handful of students expressed interest—and just one ultimately attended.
During the last fiscal year, the Advancement Office announced that Milton will now accept cryptocurrency as a form of philanthropic giving. This shift reflects both alumni initiative and effort to modernize fundraising practices.
On Wednesday, October 8, about 100 Class III students traveled to the Mosesian Center for the Arts to see a contemporary production of Macbeth. The trip, organized by the English Department, produced a mixture of enthusiasm, curiosity, and confusion.
On September 28, Milton hosted its annual college fair, welcoming representatives from 103 colleges to the Athletic and Convocation Center. This year marked a notable shift in format: instead of several small fairs throughout the fall, the College Counseling Office (CCO) organized one single, large-scale event for the entire Upper School. The event, which Angela Xu ‘27 estimated drew over 300 students, appeared, according to Anton Badushov ‘26, to be 30-40 percent larger than last year’s fairs.
