Ancient Leadership
Ancient Leadership
Committed to affirming the relationship between Ancients and the school.
With a global network of over 6,000 members, the Miss Porter’s School Alumnae Association keeps Ancients connected—with one another and with the school —long after graduation.
The Voices of Our Ancient Community
As leaders of the Alumnae Association and representatives of all Ancients, the Alumnae Board (AB) plays a pivotal role in advancing philanthropy, encouraging engagement and fostering a culture of belonging across generations of Ancients.
The AB actively champions efforts that sustain Miss Porter’s School today while safeguarding its future. By organizing volunteer opportunities, events and meaningful traditions like Worldwide Sit-Down Dinners, the AB helps Ancients strengthen friendships, sparks new connections, and creates opportunities for engagement that honor every voice—across class years, lived experiences and stages of life.
By bringing Ancients together in meaningful and inclusive ways, the AB helps ensure that Miss Porter’s School thrives—today and into its next century.
“I continue to give my time to Porter’s because, more than two decades after graduating, I believe more deeply than ever that there is no better place for a young woman to become informed, confident, and prepared to shape our ever-changing world—and I’m proud to support a school so deeply committed to ensuring every girl who calls Porter’s home is prepared to do exactly that.”
“Creating meaningful intergenerational connections within the Ancient Community has been my goal and hope throughout my Alumnae Board service.”
“After benefiting so immensely from my education at Miss Porter’s, I’m honored to give back to the school by donating my time to the Alumnae Board.”
“Since my time at Porter’s, I have become steadily and increasingly more appreciative of the foundation the School provided me, and almost a quarter-century into my career as an educator, I know first-hand the impact a school and its community can have on the world’s future generations.”
“I serve on the Alumnae Board to continue the advancement of Porter’s so that I can support and empower the next generation of women and girls.”
“Working with other Ancients is always a reminder of how amazing our community is. Everyone is sharp, inspiring, driven – but most importantly, incredibly kind and generous with their time and knowledge.”
