Alumni Rock Day Challenge 2026
120 Years of Kent School. 120 Donors.
On May 12, Kent School celebrates its 120th anniversary with the return of the Alumni Rock Day Challenge.
Remember the morning you finally made the ascent? That milestone transition from junior to senior, marked by the tradition of painting your class colors for the entire valley to see, remains a defining Kent memory.
Mark your calendar for May 12. Come represent your class year, and help your era take the top spot on the class leaderboard.
Let’s celebrate 12 decades of Kent leadership together. Whether you graduated in 1951 or 2025, your participation proves the Kent connection remains rock solid.
If you have already made a Kent Fund gift this year, we thank you!. While you have done your part, we welcome you to help us spread the word, or consider making an additional gift to help us reach this summit. Everyone’s participation on May 12 will be the key to unlocking these challenge funds. **
