Remembering Trustee Emeritus James Fitzgibbons
The Milton community mourns the loss of Trustee Emeritus James Fitzgibbons ’52, P’87, ’90, ’93, passed away January 21. Fitzgibbons, who spent decades of his life in faithful service to Milton Academy, was a legendary figure in the community, and he leaves a powerful legacy of support, generosity, and friendship to the school he so loved.
Fitzgibbons served on Milton’s Board of Trustees from 1972 to 2017—including 10 years as Board president—and he continued serving in an emeritus capacity for the remainder of his life. Through his extraordinary philanthropy, sage advice, and unflagging dedication to Milton, he helped shape the modern history of the school. In 2000, the Board recognized him with the Milton Medal—the school’s highest honor—for his meritorious contributions. Among his many gifts to our school and its students is a vibrant space that hosts Milton’s most important ceremonies and events: In 1998, along with his siblings, Ned ’40, Ann ’41, and Harry ’53, he dedicated the Fitzgibbons Convocation Center in honor of their parents.
Lower and Middle School Leadership Announcement
Steven Bertozzi will be the new principal of Milton’s Lower and Middle Schools beginning July 1, 2026. The appointment reflects a rethinking of the leadership structure in the two schools, which will continue to operate as distinct divisions within Milton’s K–12 organization.
