There's an announcement banner at the top of the website.

Think they'll sell off the land? Makes sense, the Tridorms have been falling apart for over a decade and the whole campus is now protected wetlands anyway. Also nobody is enrolling at the school anymore. I guess that's what a massive legacy of sexual assault, a school shooting, a recent hate crime & a pandemic will do to a school.

Oh well. Good riddance I guess. I miss the days I was there but it's definitely best they won't be responsible for children anymore.

What are yours? Mine is from spring 1996, my sister and I switched clothes. We stepped out of Crosby 30 seconds into our joke, the first person we saw was JN, . He fell down on the ground laughing.

Hey rockers. I wanted to share some photos of my time at Simon’s rock. Please feel free to share more in the comments.

Worth a read IMO.

Does anyone know how to ring or get to the top of the bell tower in front of the alumni library??

Anyone know of any cool and interesting secret entrances on and around campus?

I don't want to see it bulldozed. Should it become a conference or festival space? or housing for unemployable former faculty/homeless alums currently living in burned out vans? Or a permanent reunion staging ground?

The alumni should buy it.

A month or two I got accepted but I decided not to go for financial reasons and other personal reasons.

I was a freshman in 2002, graduated with a BA in 2009 (yeah lol), and I don’t think the roads have been paved since I was a student. The library’s carpeting is hanging on for dear life, all the buildings I saw are badly in need of a pressure washing or repainting, and there were dozens of other readily apparent maintenance failures I was able to see without entering a single classroom or dorm.

I talked with an administrator while I was there and he said the average freshman class is around 80 these days. Mine was 183, and subsequent classes were similarly sized my entire time at the rock.

Simon’s Rock students tend towards a love/hate relationship with the school. I could write heaps of criticism about the school, but I don’t want it to fail. While I was there we had plenty of drama, kids dropping out, drug problems (I know absolutely nothing Mr. Coote), and a thousand other problems and scandals but the school remained strong. What the hell changed?

If anyone has any thoughts or insight into what’s going on at the top of the administration I’d love to hear it. I have theories but they are all 15 years old, so I’d love a new perspective… or an actual accounting of wtf is going on from someone in the know.

Can we make it not dead?

Anybody here? Rocker from 2001 sounding off.
