Alumni

Alumni Association

If you are a Groton School alum, you are a member of our vibrant alumni association. We hope you’ll get involved—it’s a great way to stay in touch with formmates, friends, and the school. There are no dues to pay or required tasks to perform. And activities often spark friendships among graduates who did not know each at Groton.

Each year, alumni participate in Groton life by attending Groton events, joining the Groton Women’s Network, returning to the Circle for Reunion, networking on the Groton School Alumni App, and providing financial support. Groton’s alumni are some of the most active and generous among independent schools and colleges, with more than 50 percent giving to the Groton Fund each year.

Career Advisory Program

Thinking about a new job? Groton's Alumni Office and the GrotonConnect site can help you establish professional contacts, whether you are moving, looking for a new opportunity, or exploring an entirely new field.

The Alumni Office maintains a registry of alumni and parents, organized by region and field, who have volunteered to provide informational meetings and referrals. It can be a significant asset if you’re developing the chain of contacts essential to a successful job search. To receive a customized list of career advisors in your field or region, please contact Allison MacBride at 978-448-7588, or go to GrotonConnect and filter by your desired field.

The Alumni Career Advisory Program is not a job placement service, so please expect nothing more than good advice. It can provide an effective way to research occupations, prepare for interviews, uncover job markets, or become familiar with a new area. When contacting advisors, be prepared to ask relevant questions, share your resume, and explain your interests and skills. Remember to follow up with a thank you note and inform the advisor of your progress.

If you are a graduate or parent willing to share your time and experience, please contact the Alumni Office at 800-396-6866. You may determine how often you field Groton requests. Career Advisory volunteers contribute to both Groton's legacy of service and the professional development of a Grotonian in transition.

Groton Women's Network

The Groton Women's Network (GWN) aims to build a community that fosters new, enriching, and sometimes lifelong relationships among Groton School women—alumnae, mothers, grandmothers, spouses, and employees. The GWN hosts gatherings, encouraging professional and personal development.
Programs have assisted Groton women with networking, mentoring, and career advising. The GWN also strives to sustain the school’s call to service by supporting community engagement projects, both globally and locally.

GWN's regional chapters have planned a large variety of events: GWN members have volunteered at a women’s shelter, cooked together with instruction from an alumna chef, toured the National Gallery of Art, collected items for a holiday toy drive, viewed a CBS "60 Minutes" segment, handed out Thanksgiving food packages, and attending an art workshop for mothers and children.
