In 1969, Wooster School announced to its community that after more than 40 years as an all-boys school, it would become co-educational; and then in July 1970, it was official, as Wooster advertised in local newspapers: “Wooster’s 45th year as a college preparatory school this September will include an expanded day student division for both boys and girls.”
Alumni Newsletter Winter 2024
In our Alumni Spotlight series, hear about Wooster alumni - their lives and careers, meaningful experiences, and how Wooster impacted their lives. This spotlight features Gordon Schmidt, Class of 1998.
As college application deadlines approach in early November, the entire Wooster School community rallies around our graduating senior class. Beyond mere encouragement and well wishes, however, the entire school – from classroom teachers, to coaches, to support staff and administrators – shifts its attention and workflow for one entire day to contribute to a workshop designed to help seniors put the finishing touches on their college admission materials.
Wooster News is back! We don’t know if this will be its permanent name, but as we decide (and yes, we’re open to suggestions), and because it’s the first issue in a long time, we’re calling it this.
I am excited to welcome you to our new Alumni E-Newsletter. One of our goals in creating this newsletter in this particular format is to create yet another channel of communication between Wooster School alumni and the school itself.
It is with immense excitement that I announce the relaunch of our Alumni Newsletter! This cherished tradition is being revitalized to bring you closer to the heart of our vibrant and ever-growing Wooster community. A community embarking on our Centennial in 2026!
On Saturday, October 14, 2023, Wooster School welcomed back dozens of Generals from the past. Class representatives spanned from our most recent Alumni who just graduated in 2023, to those who crossed the stage to accept their diplomas in 1961. A true testament to the day was that there was multiple alumnus from every decade in between.
