Reunion 2025
Classes ending in 0 and 5: Mark your calendars for May 16-18
Reunion 2025 is an opportunity for alums to connect with one another, to learn about today’s holistic student experience, and to reflect on our past, present, and future. Discussions throughout the weekend will center on community wellbeing and on accelerating women’s leadership in historically male-dominated fields.
This year’s gathering brings together graduates in classes ending in 0 and 5, many of whom have not been together on campus in a decade or more. As part of the regular cadence of the weekend, participants will enjoy treasured traditions, honor alum accomplishments, and experience life on campus.
Not Business As Usual
In other ways, Reunion 2025 will not be business-as-usual.

There will also be special celebrations of the Class of 2020 who graduated virtually due to the global pandemic. Alums from the Class of 2020 celebrating their 5th reunion, are invited to attend reunion free of charge.
We’re offering all alums in classes ending in 0 and 5 a reduced price of $25 for the entire weekend, as a way to encourage togetherness and be in community at this moment.
Registration is required.

Jamie and Amy, survivors with deep experience working with independent schools on sexual misconduct prevention and response, shared their personal stories, previewed the typical timeline and logistics behind external investigations, and explained what their roles will be in auditing and updating school policies going forward, as part of their multi-year partnership with Miss Hall’s. They also discussed their role as a neutral third party survivors can speak with as they determine whether to reach out to the investigators.

Dean Milano shared information about current practices — some in place for years now and others that have been added to bolster support at this critical time — underpinning student safety and well-being at MHS, including the School’s 4-year Social and Emotional Learning curriculum, healthy relationships and consent-based sex education, boundaries training, and resources available to all students. Katie Chagnon focused on individual and community stages of trauma, healing, and compassion, and the power of coming together.
The open Q&A was moderated by Miss Hall’s Trustee Elizabeth Zeigler, former Executive Director of and now Senior Advisor to I Have The Right To, a nonprofit that works to create an ecosystem of respect and support for students and survivors of sexual assault.
