Opportunity Fund
During his 34-year tenure as the Headmaster of The John Thomas Dye School, Ray Michaud was the face, spirit, and lifeblood of the school.
The Raymond R. Michaud Jr. Opportunity Fund was established by the Board of Trustees in 2016 thanks to the extraordinary generosity of a committed group of past parents seeking to honor the legacy of our beloved former Head of School. The Ray Michaud Opportunity Fund has at its core a very clear mission: to ensure that Ray’s indomitable spirit and the culture that he created at JTD live on for future generations.
One of a Kind
Under the direction of the Board of Trustees and Head of School, the Fund is used to support causes that were important to Ray.
