SUPPORTING ROCKY HILL COUNTRY DAY
During this unprecedented time for our community, we are united in providing our students with the best educational opportunities possible. Our goal to support every child in mind, body, and spirit could not be more critical as we navigate the COVID-19 crisis, and the social-emotional well-being of our students.
Thank you for helping us continue to “Think Outside” in both ways we envisioned and in ways we never anticipated.
THE ROCKY HILL FUND
The Rocky Hill Fund is the annual campaign that directly supports the School’s operating budget. As is the case in independent schools, funding is needed above and beyond tuition to support our robust student experience. Gifts to the Rocky Hill Fund make an immediate and positive impact by supporting our academic programs, extracurricular activities, 84-acre campus, dedicated faculty, and much more.

Alumni Scholarship Fund
- The Rocky Hill Country Day School Alumni Association established a scholarship award to be given annually to a child or grandchild of an alumnus/alumna. The recipient will best embody the qualities of an RHCD student through outstanding scholarship, sportsmanship, and/or citizenship. Recipients demonstrate a financial need as stipulated by the School’s financial aid policies and procedures.
- The Alumni Scholarship Fund is an endowed fund, as it reached the $25,000 level thanks to the generosity of many. Gifts may be made directly to the fund at any time. Three students have received the $1,000 award since its inception.
Thank you to all who have contributed to the fund and fundraising efforts and made a difference for our legacy students! If you would like to support the Alumni Scholarship Fund, you may do so online or contact Patricia McLaughlin at 401.884.9070, ext 129.
