History
Founded by Howard G. Gibbs in 1922, Thurston Chase, the second Headmaster at Eaglebrook, started a family tradition with O. Stuart Chase becoming the Headmaster in 1966 after his father retired, and Andrew C. Chase, Stuart's son, accepting the position of Headmaster in 2002. In the 1920s Howard Gibbs asked Roger Langley, the athletic director, to start a skiing program for students winter recreation. It was the first full-time junior ski program in the United States. [1] The campus has seen massive upgrades since the mid 1990s. Baines House and the Thurston C. Chase Learning Center have been renovated. The Schwabb Family Pool, and the McFadden Rink at Alfond Arena and a new track and field facility have been built.
