Dwight Mason '57

It is possible that Dwight Mason's '57 long and distinguished career in public service can be traced back to his election as a floor leader at the end of the fourth form, a role that included membership on the Student Council and Student Court.

Giving back is a core practice at Holderness. Alumni, current and past parents, grandparents, and friends offer their time and knowledge—planning events, hosting students, supporting the Holderness Fund, cheering on athletic teams, serving as Senior Thesis mentors, and speaking on campus. No one exemplifies this practice better than Chris Carney '75.

Marty and Paul Elkins
