Dear Masters Community,
In 1877, Eliza Bailey Masters founded a school guided by a bold idea: that education should shape not only sharp minds, but purposeful lives.

In 1877, Eliza Bailey Masters founded a school guided by a bold idea: that education should shape not only sharp minds, but purposeful lives.
As we approach a significant milestone next year — The Masters School’s 150th anniversary — we invite you to join us in honoring that lasting legacy while looking ahead to a bright future.
Through May 2027, we will come together to celebrate a century and a half of mission-driven learning and leadership at Masters. The next year will be filled with events and initiatives that engage our community near and far, spotlight alumnae/i voices, and illuminate the enduring Do It With Thy Might spirit that connects generations of students.
Lynn Pilzer Sobel ’71, P’99, ’05Highlights include:
- Regional gatherings that will bring community members together in meaningful ways
- 150 Voices, a storytelling project that will amplify alumnae/i stories from across decades
- A documentary chronicling the School’s deep and vibrant history
- Celebration 150, a birthday party to remember on Saturday, May 15, 2027
Our 150-year story belongs to you, and it needs your participation.
On this page, you will find a preview of upcoming events for alumnae/i; a call for photographs and memorabilia that help tell the story of Masters across time; and the opportunity to share your favorite stories from your time at Masters and nominate friends and classmates to contribute their stories, too. These contributions will help ensure that our anniversary reflects the richness, diversity and depth of the Masters experience. Make sure to bookmark this page, our online hub for all things related to the 150th anniversary.
Thank you for being an essential part of The Masters School’s past, present and future. We look forward to celebrating this extraordinary moment in time with you!
Sincerely,
