Stories about alumni on the CWA news blog

A message from Dave Meadowcroft ‘84, Alumni Board President:

A grand total of 2,342 men and women can now proudly call themselves Tarrier alumni.  No matter when we attended Charles Wright, we have all been shaped by our teachers’ endless inspiration and throughout our lives we’ve proven time and again that inspired minds really do grow forever.  CWA’s alumni are a community of bright, creative, thoughtful people connected across continents by their experiences on the banks of Chambers Creek.  Imagine what all those graduates are contributing to the world around us and imagine what together we can do for Charles Wright!


For those who graduated 20, 30 or 40 years ago, it may seem that a lot has changed at CWA, but as the parent of three current students - one in each division - I can assure you that Charles Wright remains a place where all different types of kids belong and where they all find the teachers and coaches who can challenge them to achieve greatness.  That, after all, is what it has always meant to be a Tarrier. 

There is no greater way to pay tribute to the contributions those teachers and coaches made in our own lives than to get involved in the school as alumni.  The opportunities are numerous – serve on the Alumni Council, support the annual fund, volunteer in a classroom, speak at an assembly, attend a sports event, buy something to the auction or offer an internship to a graduating senior. 

Most importantly, please come back to Charles Wright for the 2010 Hall of Fame induction at Homecoming, the Hoop It Up alumni basketball tournament over winter break, the Kickin’ It alumni soccer tournament in June or graduation.  We can be the link between the past and the future at Charles Wright – helping our teachers understand how much we value the role they’ve played in our lives and helping current students understand the challenges and opportunities life outside the campus gates will offer them in the years to come.  Your involvement will truly make a difference.
