Grove Society Alumni Chapter | Private High School in Canada

A Message from the President

On behalf of the Grove Society Alumni Chapter, welcome to the Alumni Chapter page! This page serves as your portal, connecting you to your fellow alumni and to the latest news of what is happening in the LCS community.

The Grove Society is Lakefield College School’s primary volunteer organization that strives to bring together members of the LCS community for the advancement of the school and its community members. As a past student or graduate of Lakefield College School, you are already a member of the Grove Society Alumni Chapter!

The Alumni Chapter focuses on connecting with, and bringing together, alumni of all generations. In partnership with the Constituent Relations Office, we plan and execute events of all types, including the Annual Alumni Dinner, Networking Events, Focus Groups and monthly Thirsty Thursdays.

One initiative we are particularly excited about is the Grove Roots Mentoring Program – a program designed specifically to help facilitate the mentoring of alumni by alumni throughout their careers and various stages of their lives.

The Alumni Chapter is always looking to find new ways to connect alumni to each other, support alumni projects and careers, and foster the relationship to the school that we all once called home.

Whether you’re in Kingston or California, Toronto or Japan - we want you to get involved in the LCS alumni community. If you have an idea you would like to see initiated, are interested in re-connecting with old friends or simply want to do your part to contribute to LCS, please feel free to get in touch with me directly. I look forward to working with you over the coming year to show that the Lakefield difference has even more to offer beyond graduation.

Sincerely,

Emmy Pullen '11

President, Grove Society: Alumni Chapter
