After raising more than $16,000 over the last two years, the Holderness community once again came together to support the Sarah Duval Memorial Fund on Saturday.
The climbing program encourages students to set personal goals, both mental and physical, and create plans to accomplish them. On shorter practice days we travel to nearby Rumney Rocks, a premier sport climbing destination and one of the best venues for learning to rock climb in America. On longer days we venture to granite cliffs around the state, from single-pitch venues in Franconia Notch to multi-pitch experiences on Cathedral and Whitehorse Ledges in North Conway. On rainy days we hike any of the numerous mountains close to campus or work on technical skills in the gym.

The geographical location of Holderness School in the White Mountains of New Hampshire has allowed snow sports to develop organically throughout the school’s history. By 1930, The Witness, an Episcopal magazine, emphasized the importance of outdoor activities in the education of young students.
Each week we recognize our student-athletes for their athletic accomplishments. Read on for this months recipients.
Embracing the outdoors and developing a lifelong enjoyment of adventure is at the heart of Holderness School’s mission. Rock Climbing Coach, Laurie Watt, has embodied this mission, striving to make the outdoors a welcoming and accessible place for all. Her hard work has been recognized by her peers as she was recently nominated for the American Mountain Guides Association’s Guide of the Year Award. The Guide of the Year Award is given to an individual who has made an outstanding contribution or achievement of significant value to the mountain guiding profession and has exhibited qualities of loyalty, integrity, and moral courage worthy of emulation.
Congratulations to all the exceptional student-athletes who made this fall sports season a success! Their hard work and dedication were always on display, from the soccer field to the mountain biking trails to the local rock climbing crags. Whether in practice or in competition, our Bulls truly represented Holderness School well.
This summer, Holderness School cemented its status as one of the top snow sports schools in the country with a renewal of its “Gold Certified” club status - and its invitation to join U.S. Ski & Snowboard's High Performance Center Partnership Program.
