The 1867 Society

In 1867, the Cornwall Heights School opened its doors to local children under the leadership of Reverend Louis P. Ledoux. Twenty years later, in 1897, the School was bought by Dr. Carlos H. Stone, who led it until 1916 under the name of The Stone School. The Stone School was then chartered as a non-profit organization, and the name of the School changed to The Storm King School.

The legacy of commitment to academic achievement, self-confidence, and self-reliance first established by Reverend Ledoux has continued for more than 150 years. To sustain the vision of those pioneers of education, The 1867 Society was established to recognize individuals who have made a charitable provision for The Storm King School in their estate plans. Their thoughtful and visionary generosity continues to support the long term well-being of this great school.

SUPPORT STORM KING

"The reason I give is so that other Storm King School students have the same opportunity that I was given.

I want others to avoid going through some of the challenges that I did before finding SKS. I am deeply grateful for the chance I got at SKS. I love Storm King School. That is why I give."

- Michael Fischer '82

"I come from a long line of Storm King School students. My mom, two of my aunts, and cousins all attended. That is one of the reasons why I give, to continue our family legacy- a legacy that I hope will continue for generations to come."

- Madison Sergi '14

“After two years at SKS, I was no longer lost. I established lifelong friendships, including with my educators and mentors. I gained an understanding of the value of accomplishment. I gained the self-confidence that comes from doing things myself, rather than because my parents told me to. I earned the respect of my peers. I held myself to a higher standard. And I carry these measures of success with me every day.”
