Serving as a Class Agent

Since opening its doors in 1877, Thayer Academy’s mission has been to inspire a diverse community of students so that each may rise to honorable achievement and contribute to the common good. The role of the Class Agent is vital to continuing to spread the good works and accomplishments of Thayer Academy alumni. Charged with keeping alumni of various generations and locations engaged with the Academy, Class Agents help to build pride and loyalty while encouraging their classmates to offer support to Thayer.
