Founders Day 2026

Honor a Hilltopper. Rise to the Challenge.

Worcester Academy’s legacy is defined by people—Hilltoppers who show up in support of others, challenge us to be better, and inspire our community to Achieve the Honorable.

Founders Day—our annual Giving Day, held this year on February 27—brings the Worcester Academy community together to recognize those who have made a meaningful difference. Alumni, parents and guardians, students, faculty, staff, and friends are invited to participate by making a gift in honor of a Hilltopper who has impacted their experience.

This year’s goal is 550 donors—a community-wide challenge that shows the strength of our collective support. To make participation easy, any gift made during February counts toward Founders Day, with February 27 as our shared celebration of impact and momentum.

Each tribute recognizes a Hilltopper who has made a difference. Each gift strengthens Worcester Academy. Together, we rise to the challenge.
