Plan to be Part of the Future!
In order to honor our alumni and friends who commit future support to Roycemore, we have created the Rebecca Ashley Thatcher Society. Miss Ashley, as she was known by the girls at Roycemore, served the school from 1916 until her retirement in 1941. All donors who notify us of their bequest intentions or set up gift annuities or charitable remainder trusts will be members of the Society, and Society Members will be featured in the Honor Roll of Donors.

E-mail Registrar Liz Liubin to request a copy of your transcript.

If you're not receiving Roycemore in Review, and/or other mailings from the school and would like to, please call or e-mail Patti Goldstein so we may update our records.
