Seventh Form

Welcome to the Seventh Form

The Seventh Form invites alumni who have marked 50 years since graduation to connect with Westminster and each other in meaningful ways. The virtual programs held during the 2023-2024 academic year featured lively discussions on travel, the performing arts, and land conservation. Alumni heard from Head of School Elaine White, learned about the Hartford Partnerships program (from SPHERE to Horizons at Westminster) and got great advice from the Free Advice Guy, Jody Vail ‘66. Below you can find a recording of the February conversation on stroke and aneurysm.

During the Flock Reunion on June 7-9, 2024, we welcomed the Class of 1974 to the Seventh Form. We shared the goals of providing virtual and in-person programming to renew and make connections within and across class years, find shared passions and interests, and learn with and from each other. You can find pictures from the reunion here
 
We look forward to another great year of connecting in person and online!
