Student Life

Equity and Inclusion

New Hampton School aspires to be a school where all are known, cared for, and feel that they belong. We take active steps to create an environment in which the identities and cultural backgrounds of our families, students, and employees are valued and respected.

We have a range of programming and resources available throughout the year for our community, spearheaded by the Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) team, the Student Life Office, and the Dean of Faculty office.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to either our Director of DEIB, Maggie Gilman, or our DEIB Coordinator, Tiffany Corselli.

Finding Our Voices

Black Affinity Group

This group is for Black students to share and discuss their experiences in a safe space. There is also a mentorship component that helps our younger students find their voice and feel welcome in Husky Nation.

Rainbow Husky Alliance

The Rainbow Husky Alliance is a safe and inclusive place to connect with others and educate ourselves and the community on LGBTQ+ topics.

Council on Representation & Equity

All are welcome in this student-led group that discusses a range of social justice issues and coordinates events throughout the year including MLK Day and Women's History Month.

National SEED Project

This optional class meets monthly to discuss issues of equity, inclusion, and access, and is led by faculty members who are trained by the National SEED project.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day

Each year, we use this “day on,” to explore various topics of race and engage in campus-wide discussions. The program features outside speakers who touch on various topics including the importance of being involved, telling your story, and being a social change agent. Students also attend student-led workshop sessions that cover topics including:

The History of Eugenics

Social Activism with Photography

Changemakers in Professional Sports

Reggae to Rap: The Power of Protest in Music

Journey of F-1 Visa Processing: How is Race Involved

Strength in Numbers

New Hampton School is proud to collaborate with other prep schools in the Lakes Region for a range of events, such as the Love Wins Unconference at Holderness School, the Asian American Footsteps Conference, and the Diversity Hiring Conference.

Black History Month

Programming during Black History Month differs each year and much is driven by the Black Affinity Group. Through presentations at School Meeting, displays throughout campus, and other signature community events, we pay tribute to the many African Americans who struggled with adversity to achieve full citizenship in American society.

Women's History Month

What does being a woman in today's society mean to you? This question and more are raised during Women's History Month when the Women's Affinity Group celebrates those who have worked to make positive changes for women in our culture.
