Meet Claire Hooper 

We are thrilled to announce that Claire Hooper will be joining the Sailing School Team as Administrative Assistant working with Program Director Chris Beard in the Clubhouse during Sailing School hours.   

Claire is a year-round resident of Chatham. After living in New York City for many years, she returned to Chatham 7 years ago to raise her two daughters, Grace and Laura.

While in New York, Claire worked as an office manager for American Express Travel, a speech writer for the Association of Junior Leagues and a 3rd grade teacher at The Chapin School. She also has multiple years of experience as a fund raiser and event planner. 

Over the last 7 years, Claire has worked for the Monomoy Regional School District as an accounting clerk, substitute teacher (Pre-K through Grade 12) and substitute administrative assistant. She currently is an administrative assistant in the Main Office of Monomoy Regional High School in Harwich.

Time off during the summer months makes it possible to continue doing what she loves best about her job at Monomoy High School--keeping things organized and on task for the rest of the team and being able to be of service to students and their families. 


Sailing School Parent Announcement As the first week of Sailing Session 1 approaches, please feel free to reach out to our new Program Director, Chris Beard, at [email protected] with any questions you may have.  Please be sure to come meet Chris on Monday, June 26 at 9:30 am for our Parent Information Session.  This is a great time to ask questions and learn about all that is new for summer 2017.
