Mrs. Bush embodied leadership, public service and loyalty. Sending thoughts and prayers to the Bush family. It was a special day for Andover Sept. 30, 2015, when the former First Lady and former President George HW Bush ‘42 made a surprise visit to campus.

to last Media Day w/ Bill Belichick '71. When asked to reflect on a big win against Exeter he said, "That was a good win. 34-8 I think it was. Great experience for me, both academically and athletically... Can’t say enough great things about Andover. Beat Exeter.”
Our resident bald eagle watching over our campus is a symbol of strength and resilience. Happy President’s Day from Phillips Academy. 🦅🇺🇸

122 years ago today. 2020 adds another unexpected chapter to the historic rivalry. While we wish we were gearing up for another epic weekend of competition, the health and safety of all our athletes, students, employees, and families remains our number one priority.
Head of School Raynard Kington continued a tradition started by Jim Ventre ’79—launching the school year with an address to faculty, staff, and administrators.
“It’s invigorating to think about our students reengaging in the intellectual work of pairing knowledge with goodness.”
"We need diversity of thought in STEM...The answers to current problems aren’t out there in a textbook somewhere—current scientists have to discover them, and the more diverse group you have working to solve these problems, the better the results." - Sheena Hilton '05
