A Letter From Anna Baird '03, President of the York House School Alum Association.

Hello, Yorkie Alum! 

I’m Anna Baird, Class of 2003, and it’s a genuine honour to step into the role of President of the YHS Alum Association.

My connection to York House is deep—it’s where I found lifelong friends (we just celebrated our 20th reunion!), powerful career connections, and community across the globe. Now, I’m happily back on campus as a parent to two future Yorkies, Olivia, Grade 1 and Mikayla, JK.

At the New Families Dinner this year, I shared how this alum community has supported me. Like when Shirin spoke on a panel at a London event just because I asked. Or Sarah, who's revolutionizing how law enforcement understands data bias to make our world safer. Or Meghan, a new connection who proudly brought her business to our recent York House Autumn Fair. Yorkies are everywhere living, Not for Ourselves Alone. The YHS alum network is powerful—active, vibrant, and built on creativity, curiosity, and care. That's why I hope you'll stay connected.

Why connect? It's a two-way street.

We're all busy, but the value you get from this network is tangible:

1. Professional Power

Need a career boost? Our network is packed with successful women across every field. Joining a networking event or using YHS Connect isn't just about helping others—it's about instantly accessing mentors, advisors, and collaborators who can open doors for your career.

2. Meaningful Connections

It's more than networking; it's genuine friendship. Whether it's seeing familiar faces at the recent Autumn Fair or hearing inspiring stories from alums who are making their mark globally, these connections bring a unique warmth and camaraderie back into your life.

3. Building Our Legacy

Every time you get involved, you strengthen the reputation of the school and, by extension, the value of your past experience at YHS. Your support, including donations to our Alum Association Scholarship, directly ensures future Yorkies benefit from this special school.

Get involved (Simply!)
