When Belmont Hill faculty members take advantage of the teaching sabbaticals offered after ten years of service, some use the time away from the classroom to travel, work towards advanced degrees, or even enjoy a well earned opportunity to relax. Director of Instrumental Music Dan Fiori took a different approach in 2023 and spent the year immersed in the composing and recording of his debut jazz fusion album Undertow. The record, which was released in May and is available digitally and on vinyl, demonstrates the vast breadth of Mr. Fiori’s musical influences and the level of talent guiding Belmont Hill musicians on their own creative journeys.  

Even in the summer, Head of Strength and Conditioning Andrew Markham keeps the Cross Family Fitness Center packed with student-athletes, underscoring the Belmont Hill Strength and Conditioning Program’s commitment to the boys. Week in, week out, all year long, Coach Markham’s program remains available for students to work out together, a true testament to the commitment and culture of Belmont Hill Athletics.

This spring, Belmont Hill senior Fitz Courtney ‘26 found himself submerged in the Sheepscot River in Boothbay, Maine, much to his classmates' amusement. “We were kind of all joking around that someone on this trip was going to fall in, and everyone thought it would be me,” explained his classmate Cam Kelley ‘26. “It was pretty funny to see that Fitz had fallen in the water.”

As members of the Class of 2026 finished their careers at Belmont Hill, the final months of the school year featured a host of traditions and events to send them off on a high note. From panel carving to the senior talent show to field day and more, the sixth formers took full advantage of all that senior spring has to offer.
