The 2018-19 school year marks a special milestone in the history of Rye Country Day School – the 150th anniversary of the School's founding in 1869. To commemorate and celebrate this milestone, RCDS has launched a new website that features photo galleries and timelines from the RCDS archives, as well as information about special community events taking place throughout the year.
Learn more about the founding of The Rye Female Seminary by Susan J. Life, the merger with Heathcoate Hall, the first graduating co-ed class of 1968, and other facts by exploring our historical timeline. Browse photographs, news clippings, catalogs, and brochures from various decades in our archival galleries. Be sure to save the date for a number of events and celebrations taking place throughout the year to celebrate the past and the future of Rye Country Day
Throughout the 2018-19 school year, we will also post archival stories on social media (Instagram and Facebook) using the hashtag #150RCDSstories.
