A Mark for the Moment
To honor Tabor Academy’s 150th anniversary, we have introduced a special sesquicentennial mark featuring the Lillard Hall cupola. This mark is a tribute to Tabor’s history, traditions, and the enduring spirit of our community. While it will be used throughout the sesquicentennial celebrations, it is a temporary emblem created specifically for this milestone year. It does not replace Tabor Academy’s official brand but serves as a visual tribute to this once-in-a-lifetime moment in our school’s history.
