Société ’62

The essence of TFS, like any great independent school, is found in the strength, dedication, and commitment of its community. When Harry and Anna Giles founded TFS in 1962, they not only established a school but also fostered a community where parents, students, and educators came together to shape the TFS we hold dear today. As a relatively young school, we are privileged to personally know many of the remarkable individuals who have been with us since its early days, forming the cornerstone of our institution.

In 2024, Société ’62 was established with heartfelt gratitude to honor the past senior leaders, volunteers, and ambassadors who have played pivotal roles in our history. At TFS, our alumni and their families remain valued members of our community for life. Graduation is not a farewell, but a continuation of your relationship with TFS. The creation of Société ’62 offers a meaningful opportunity for these esteemed individuals to stay connected with the school and with one another, while also recognizing the enduring impact they have made on our community. Membership in Société ’62 includes our former Chairs, Presidents, Volunteers of Distinction, Alumni of Distinction, Premier Citoyen(ne)s, and other key contributors who have significantly shaped our journey.

Members receive invitations to exclusive events, regular communications, and the opportunity to provide feedback on school matters.
