The program will be moderated by KHS Curator Marge Smith, who is also the school’s historian.

The school rose from humble beginnings in an old farmhouse in 1923 to become an award-winning private boarding school 100 years later. It recently made the cover of the K12 Digest as a “Must Watch Boarding School” for 2024. 

Participants in the program will be invited to share their own stories and memories about the school. Register by calling 860-927-1586 or email ssassist@townofkent.org.
