We welcome our current students with a display of some of the academy's early students - Edward Preble (USS Constitution), Theophilus Parsons (Essex Result), Rufus King (signer of Constitution), Samuel Osgood (first Postmaster), and Samuel Phillips (founder of Phillips Andover and Exeter.) All these alums studied under Master Moody in the Little Red Schoolhouse. During his tenure, he educated 526 boys, eleven who served in the new House of Representatives and five in the Senate. You can read more about this remarkable man and his students in John Ragle's Governor Dummer Academy History available in the library.
