About the Alumni Association
A message from NMH Alumni Association president and NMH trustee Molly Goggins Talbot ’93, P’21, ’23:
Welcome to the Northfield Mount Hermon Alumni Association web page!
The NMH Alumni Association represents the collective alumni of Northfield Mount Hermon, nearly 30,000 people — including graduates and former students — with a range of backgrounds, life experiences, and perspectives. As alumni, we are all beneficiaries of the school's ideals, the stewards of its legacy, and a testament to the value of education for the head, heart, and hand.
With more than 80 dedicated volunteers in eight committees, the NMH Alumni Council oversees the Alumni Association. The council's mission is to nurture a lifelong exchange between the school and its alumni and to help channel the efforts and views of all NMH alumni back into the school.
Please spend some time viewing these alumni association pages to learn more about alumni activities and what the association does for NMH. We welcome your participation and input.
