Hoosick Grange News
It was open meeting night at Hoosick Grange on October 8. Marion Cipperly was in charge of the program. She introduced Mr. Dean Foster, Headmaster of The Hoosac School. He said he always wanted to learn more about the Grange. We told him some things, and then he told us about Hoosac School. He said the very wealthy and famous Tibbits family started the first school in Lansingburgh. The school was founded in 1889 with 125 students. It survived the depression when other schools didn’t. He told us it is a Prep School that prepares students for college, and is an intellectual school. They have students from 14 different countries. The class size is 10 students per instructor. They teach 38 different languages. They have a new language lab. They have a very good athletic program of ice skating, soccer and basketball. They receive no Federal money. They have a new fitness center, and they give one million dollars in financial aid a year. They have both boys and girls, 12 years old and up.
This year the school will be celebrating the 120 Yule Log and Boar’s Head. They also will celebrate the 125 Founders’ Day on November 1. He said all are welcome to come and celebrate with them.
The school is working at being more active in the community. They clean the Hill Road every year and are involved with HAYC3. Dean loves the area and the school. He came to the school in 1994, and his wife is from Petersburgh. They have three children. He invited the Grange to come and visit the school. The Grange members thanked Dean for a very informative program. They had some delicious refreshments after the program, provided by Marion Cipperly.
