The Mass Academy Reunion
The Academy holds an annual reunion for its alumni during the winter break or Thanksgiving period. The academy reunion is unique in that all of the graduated classes attend. The academy is able to accommodate everyone since there have been only been nineteen graduating classes each of approximately 40-50 students, and most attendees are recent alumnae. The reunion was not held for several years following the death of Pauline LaMarche (2004), the academy's second principal and original organizer of the event. The tradition has resumed, however, with the reunion held on December 30, 2006.

“If all feeling for grace and beauty were not extinguished in the mass of mankind at the actual moment, such a method of locomotion as cycling could never have found acceptance; no man or woman with the slightest aesthetic sense could assume the ludicrous position necessary for it.”
—Ouida [Marie Louise De La Ramée] (1839–1908)
“When the State wishes to endow an academy or university, it grants it a tract of forest land: one saw represents an academy, a gang, a university.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
