The Storm King School’s 2024 Reunion weekend took place on June 14-16. The weekend was deemed a great success by alums who enjoyed the beauty of the Mountain as they reunited with old friends, reminisced, and celebrated community members.

The Class of 1974 had 15 alums in attendance, which was a great turnout for a 50th reunion. Past faculty member and coach Dick Broughton ’54 celebrated his 70th reunion, and on the other end of the spectrum, a group of young alumni from within the past six years spent the entire day on Saturday and were enthusiastic about building the ranks of young alumni attendees next year.

The weekend kicked off with a Friday night cruise on the Hudson River. Although the weather was stormy as the group departed, the boat ride ended with a breathtaking double rainbow making the gathering even more special.

On Saturday morning, members of the community who had passed away were remembered at Memorial Rock at a gathering filled with heartfelt expressions of love. After a delicious BBQ lunch on Ledoux Terrace, alumni gathered in the Walter Reade Jr. Theatre for the Alumni Conversation and Awards presentation. Paul Jerry ’69, Chair of the Alumni Council’s Awards Committee, expertly hosted the event, and Jon Lamb gave a State of the School address noting students’ accomplishments and asked for support for the school’s next major project: the New Dyar Hall renovation and addition for needed expanded classroom space.

Moving videos were shown depicting Mr. Lamb’s legacy at SKS and photos of his time as Head of School. After dinner, alumni gathered around the fire pit donated by the Class of 2023 located outside of Orr Commons. Over a crackling fire, alumni continued to talk, tell stories, and share memories as the evening came to a close.
