The Board of Trustees has officially reversed the decision and reinstated House football. We will now shift our focus to working with the administration on the logistical transition to ensure the program returns for the upcoming season.

Lawrenceville has made the decision to stop House tackle football after 124 years, the oldest such program in the country. The students and alumni were given no notice or opportunity for comment. Sign this petition to the Headmaster and Board of Trustees in support of reviving house football, one of Lawrenceville’s great traditions. Make your view known

The administration has acknowledged the volume of this movement and agreed to a formal meeting with representatives next week. I am currently finalizing the brief that outlines the historical importance of the program for our presentation to the Board of Trustees.

Just heard about this today and am shocked. Really hope the board listens to us and keeps the tradition alive.

This is ridiculous. Some of my best memories at Lville were playing house football. You cant just erase over a century of history without asking anyone.

124 years down the drain because of some suit in an office? Total joke. Don't let this happen.

House football is what creates the bond between houses. My son was really looking forward to playing this year. Please rethink this decision.
