The Lamp of Learning Society
The Lamp of Learning Society honors and recognizes those individuals who have included Holton-Arms in their estate plans or have made a planned gift to the School. The Society celebrates and promotes the tradition of generosity, connectedness, and trust in the mission and values of the School.
The Society has chosen as its symbol the lamp from the School’s Crest to demonstrate how estate gifts help illuminate the path for future generations of Holton students. While other aspects of the Crest symbolize community (the orbs), youth and peace (the branch) and learning (the open book), the lamp symbolizes the light cast by knowledge.
We are grateful to the following individuals whose bequest intentions and planned gifts will secure Holton’s future and ensure that the School remains at the forefront of secondary education for young women. If you have made a provision for Holton in your estate plans, please notify the Advancement Center. If you have not yet done so, we hope that you will consult with your family and choose to become a member of The Lamp of Learning Society.
