2023–2024 was another great year for Milton. The incredible generosity of 3,041 alumni, parents, students, and friends provided more than $11.4 million in support for Milton Academy. Together, our community contributed an incredible $5.7 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 over 100 events, with gatherings on campus, across the country, and across Asia, which were attended by approximately 2,400 alumni, parents, and friends. On campus, we were proud to host the opening of the new and improved Cox Library and to have Milton-Nobles Day on our turf. We celebrated milestone anniversaries of the Jazz and Girls’ Ice Hockey programs. We look forward to another exciting year ahead!

Ben Rhodes-Kropf ’24 has a message from his father. In order to receive it, he’ll have to travel to Spain. That’s because his dad left the message through Trace, an app Rhodes-Kropf and classmate Benjamin Siegel ’24 developed throughout their junior and senior years at Milton. The location-based service combines the functions of a messaging app with the thrill of an in-person treasure hunt, allowing users to “leave a Trace” wherever they are in the world. Messages for other Trace users (or their future selves) are delivered only when the recipient is physically close to the location where the message—in video form—was recorded. Read more.

On June 7, 187 seniors received their diplomas and joined the Milton Academy alumni community. Graduation at Milton is a ceremony that carries years of tradition, including students electing their student speakers and the alum to deliver the commencement address. The Class of 2024 elected Lily Park and Bryan Sukidi as their student representatives, and the commencement address given by Jason Bowen ’00 (pictured). Jason is an actor and educator who has performed on Broadway, television, and film, and he reminded the class that they are ready for anything. He shared, “I can tell you from firsthand experience that receiving a diploma from this school means you’re absolutely ready to go in whatever direction you choose. I promise you, whatever you see for yourself, you have been given the tools to go and pursue it. It’s now on you to go and make your place in this world.” Click here to read their speeches, watch the ceremony in its entirety, and flip through photos from the day.
