Carl Lovejoy

Many know Carl as one of Mountain Valley’s co-founders and foremost ambassadors. From our founding in 2011 until 2023, Carl was omnipresent in Pike and Plainfield, making deep connections with both residents and their families.

In his current role as Mountain Valley’s Director of Development and Alumni Affairs, Carl is focused on caring for our alumni network and ensuring a bright future for MVTC—one in which we grow, evolve, and continue to serve our mission in bigger and better ways. Carl is the primary liaison for members of the Mountain Valley Alumni Association and is focusing his development efforts on enhancing our scholarship funds so that we can offer therapeutic services to adolescents who, without such support, would not be able to benefit from all that MVTC has to offer.

Carl attended St. Paul’s School and Colby College and is a graduate of the Stanley H. King Counseling Institute. Prior to his work at Mountain Valley, Carl enjoyed a 30-year career in boarding schools—teaching and coaching, then working in admissions and development at St. Paul’s, Tabor Academy, Cardigan Mountain School, and Kimball Union Academy. In 2010, he was asked if he might like to join the founding team of what was to become Mountain Valley Treatment Center. He said “yes,” and the rest is history.

Carl and his wife, Cari, a former member of Mountain Valley’s leadership team, have three adult sons and seven young grandchildren. Their lives have been—and continue to be—filled with athletic endeavors, both as participants and spectators.
