What’s Happening at Milton?

Senior Projects

Each May, seniors go “on project,” taking a deep dive into a topic they’re passionate about, such as learning Muay Thai, shadowing physicians, interning in labs, volunteering at local nonprofits, and developing new skills and crafts. Thank you to all of our alumni who worked with members of the Class of 2023 on their projects. Pictured is Can Yildrim ’23 giving his presentation on “Leadership at Milton 1985–2023.” Can interviewed 36 former head monitors at Milton and wrote a 22-page paper reflecting on leadership at Milton throughout the last 38 years.

Welcome Home, Dr. Alixe Callen ’88

On July 1, we welcomed Dr. Alixe Callen ’88 home to Centre St. as Milton Academy’s 13th head of school. A Milton alumna committed to the pursuit of excellence and innovation, Dr. Callen brings to our community a lifelong love of teaching, a wealth of experience in independent and public school leadership, and a deep appreciation and support for Milton Academy. She is the first Milton graduate to lead the school in generations and our first-ever female graduate head of school. Celebrations began early as Alixe was on campus for her 35th Reunion in June, and faculty and staff enjoyed a welcome lunch with Alixe last week. We look forward to continuing the celebrations throughout the fall and are thrilled to be starting this new chapter in our school’s history.

Cox Construction Update

The Milton campus may seem quiet during the summer but a lot has been happening behind closed doors. This fall, you will have an opportunity to see the transformations taking place in Wigglesworth Hall. Renovations are nearing completion, and Cox Library will soon move across Centre Street to begin the 2023–2024 academic year!

Convocation

Sharing messages celebrating strength in supportive communities, this year’s Convocation speakers challenged Milton students to “Dare to be true” to one another and the world at large. Convocation marks the beginning of the academic year for the Upper School. Students heard remarks from Head of School Dr. Alixe Callen ’88, Director of Restorative Practices Suzanne DeBuhr, co-Head Monitors Katherine Risden ’24 and Chris Amodeo ’24, and Principal Dr. Monica Benton Palmer P ’28.

Advancement Year in Review

2022–2023 was an exciting year for Milton. The incredible generosity of 3,074 alumni, parents, students, and friends provided more than $12.6 million in support for Milton Academy. Together, our community contributed an incredible $6.1 million to the Milton Fund to meet the school’s most pressing needs, strengthened Milton’s endowment, and ensured the future of Milton through planned gifts. Milton also hosted many in-person events, with gatherings on campus, across the country, and in Hong Kong, which were attended by more than 700 alumni, parents, and friends. Local events included bowling, dumpling making, and more. Virtual events included a DEIJ Speaker Series, Math at Milton programming, networking and professional development opportunities, and more.
