On the 25th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, the Belmont Hill community gathered for a morning Chapel to remember the event through history, poetry, and heartfelt reflection.

As the new school year formally kicked off in Hamilton Chapel on Tuesday morning, the students weren’t the only ones who arrived having done their summer reading. In his annual opening Chapel Talk, Greg Schneider, Ronald M. Druker ’62 Head of School, used his love for literature to encourage the boys to seize the opportunities awaiting them in the months ahead.

Following a comprehensive national search, Belmont Hill has appointed Amos Gilbert as the new Head Varsity Lacrosse Coach. Prior to his arrival in Massachusetts, Mr. Gilbert coached the Steamboat Springs High School lacrosse team, guiding the program to two league championships. 

The Belmont Voice honored John McAlpin with a retrospective celebrating his incredible 40-year career as a Belmont Hill teacher and coach. While Mr. McAlpin retired this spring, he remains a resident of the town of Belmont and a dedicated member of the community, where he has long shown the same values of selflessness and stewardship that he brought to the Hill.

Independent School Magazine highlighted an interview with Greg Schneider, Ronald M. Druker ’62 Head of School, highlighting his path to Belmont Hill, what he’s learned from leading a boys school, and what inspires him each day on campus. The interview was an excerpt of a longer conversation from the National Association of Independent Schools’s Member Voices podcast.

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.
