We invite you to mark your calendars for a historic weekend that you won't want to miss! SSA's first-ever double reunion weekend will celebrate classes ending in 0s, 1s, 5s and 6s. Over the past year, we've adapted and evolved as a community and the same is true for our events.

The SSA Alumni & Development Office is continuing to plan for an in-person event this fall; however, first and foremost, we are committed to the safety and well-being of our community. The plan is to offer a blend of traditional in-person programming with some necessary modifications.* We hope that you will join us to celebrate!

In order to stay updated on Homecoming 2021, visit shadysideacademy.org/homecoming. Conact Lisa Page  with questions or concerns, or if you are interested in helping to plan your class reunion.
