Humans of Northwood: Reese Combe ’26

“Northwood has provided me with a sense of community that I have not felt anywhere else. Having spent 3 years at Kimball Union Academy in New Hampshire, I have extensive experience with boarding schools. I felt instantly welcomed here and quickly meshed with my team and the community.

“My brother, Ryan, did a post-graduate year at Northwood, and he liked it a lot. He won the NCAA Division I Men’s Soccer Championship with the University of Vermont in 2024. My sister, Summer, currently plays NCAA Division 1 hockey at Stonehill University, and I recently committed to play there next season. I have always been super competitive with my siblings, and that has driven me to want to be better than them. I am super excited to play with Summer next year at Stonehill!

“I love to play sports. At Kimball Union, I was a three-sport athlete in ice hockey, track and field, and soccer. It sucks that Northwood doesn’t have a soccer team, but everything else makes up for it. I also enjoy surfing because it’s both peaceful and exhilarating. Before school, I usually go on runs to stay active. Lake Placid is beautiful, and I love taking advantage of the scenery.

“I currently take Peak Pathways with Ms. Prime, and I am writing an album. It is something that I have put a lot of effort into, and I might perform a song or two at the Spring Concert after formal. I enjoy making music because it lets me express myself in different ways. I have a lot of fun trying new things and being outgoing with others.”
