NMH Dedicates Student Houses
May 8, 2006
GILL, MA—Two student houses at Northfield Mount Hermon School were dedicated May 5. The new girls’ dormitory was named Mary E. MacKinnon Cottage in memory of the mother of Trustee Robert MacKinnon ’53. MacKinnon’s generous gift recognizes the care and community he experienced as a boarding student. He is also honoring his mother’s strong faith in the education he and his two brothers received at Mount Hermon.
Trustee Bill Shea ’72 generously supported the construction of the new boys’ dormitory, as well as other important initiatives at NMH. He is deeply engaged at the school and is enthusiastic about its plans for the future. In recognition of his support, the dormitory was named the Shea Family Cottage.
The houses were opened in September 2005. The dedication ceremony was part of NMH’s Trustee weekend and offered an opportunity to celebrate the school’s success.
Northfield Mount Hermon is an independent coeducational boarding and day high school in Gill, MA.
