On September 11, 2001, the United States of America suffered a devastating attack. The tragic loss of life touched every village, town, and city in America. Minnechaug Regional High School lost a most distinguished alumnus on that saddest of days. Rick Thorpe, MRHS Class of 1984, lost his life in Tower Two of the World Trade Center in New York City.

The scoreboard at MRHS is dedicated to the memory or Rick Thorpe, a school leader who was both an excellent student and outstanding athlete. May it always serve as a beacon of spirit, hope, achievement, and sportsmanship for all Minnechaug students and as a vivid reminder of a noble man who embodied the true Falcon spirit.

Rick Thorpe will never be forgotten.
Dedicated: September 20, 2002.

In Rick's memory, Rick's Place was opened in the Spring 2007. Rick's Place offers grieving families with children a place to remember their loved ones and to avoid the sense of isolation that such a loss can produce. At Rick's Place, all group members share the experience of losing a close family member and can support one another with the help of facilitators.
