Meet James Pinkham, Rocky Hill's new Director of Enrollment Management. Mr. Pinkham comes from a family of educators and has been attending and working at independent schools throughout his life. His first role was teaching history at the Forman School in Connecticut, before moving to admission and enrollment work at Ridley College in Ontario and most recently at the New Hampton School in central New Hampshire. We are thrilled to have Mr. Pinkham and Ms. LaPlante in the admissions office, meeting new families and furthering the mission of the school to help students discover their full selves.
