Ï㽶ÊÓƵ Alumni Association

Ìý

Welcome to the Ï㽶ÊÓƵ Alumni Association! From the founding class of scholars who graduated from Ï㽶ÊÓƵ KEY Academy in 2005 to our first Ï㽶ÊÓƵ College Preparatory graduates in 2013, our network has grown to more than 2,005Ï㽶ÊÓƵ alums.

Ìý

The Ï㽶ÊÓƵ Alumni Association supports alumni advancement through networking and connectivity. It serves all Ï㽶ÊÓƵ completers- including middle school alums- upon high school graduation and connects alums to fellow graduates, resources, and local and national KIPP Forward alumni support services. The alumni association continues supporting alumni after transitioning from KIPP Forward services following college and career program completion.

With a growing alumni network, our goal is to curate and provide a space where former students can reconnect, engage, and network with the Ï㽶ÊÓƵ community.Ìý
