The Heartwood Society
The Heartwood Society was created to recognize and thank alums, family, and friends who have made a bequest or planned gift to Concord Academy.
In June 1957 the carving of verses 1 through 8 of Paul’s first epistle to the Corinthians was installed in the Elizabeth B. Hall Chapel—a place we all know, understand, and believe in. Over the course of a year students had chiseled each letter in pine heartwood, taken from the dense inner core of the tree. Strong and particularly resistant, this material ensured that these words would remain a fixture at CA. Our Heartwood Society members have named Concord Academy in their estate plans or made planned gifts or bequests to the school, preserving their belief in CA’s mission and extending their support into the school’s next century
By becoming a Heartwood Society member, you join the company of many who have helped to provide for generations of students and scholars to come. Most important, you will be making an invaluable contribution to securing the future for Concord Academy.
Heartwood Society members have endowed faculty chairs and scholarships, expanded the resources of the school—helping to sustain innovative programs—created fellowships, and made possible a variety of facilities initiatives. However you choose to support Concord Academy, your Heartwood Society membership will serve as an inspiration to all who share your vision for Concord Academy’s future.
Concord Academy expresses its deep gratitude to the Heartwood Society members for supporting future generations of students. The Heartwood Society honors those alums, parents, current and former members of the faculty and staff, and friends who have remembered Concord Academy in their estate plans to benefit the school.
