“The test of worth of any school…is the record of service of her alumni”

—Frank L. Boyden

For Alumni

Deerfield alumni represent one of the most active, generous, and spirited groups of any independent school or college. Each year, alumni participate in Academy life through financial support, volunteer efforts, attendance at regional events, participation in online communities, and during pentennial pilgrimages back to the Pocumtuck Valley for Reunions.

Support Deerfield

  • Give to Deerfield

    Show your spirit and make an immediate impact with a gift to the Green and White—or fund the future with a 1797 level gift. Give to a major project or endowed fund, or plan a gift of your estate. No matter what method you choose, it’s your participation that strengthens Deerfield the most. Make a gift today.

  • Volunteer for Deerfield

    Each year, Deerfield benefits from hundreds of volunteers who help create Reunions, encourage donations, plan events, or serve as guest speakers or volunteers on campus. Find out how you can help the Academy.

Staying Connected

Deerfield alumni number over 12,000—and live in 25 different countries. Add parents, grandparents, and friends, and you’re looking at the world’s biggest extended family.

    • Reunions

      It’s a rally in the valley, every four years. Join your classmates in the Great Tent for the traditional clambake.

    • Events Near You
