About
The Alumni Association
High school
alumni associations are not new in Imlay City. On June 30, 1904 research shows
that the “Third Annual Imlay City High School Alumni Banquet” was held in
Haskin’s Hall. The officers at that time were Mrs. Stanley H. Large,
President; Mr. Isaac McKillen, Vice President; Miss Martha Desk, Secretary; and
Mr. Sam Sheppard, Treasurer. There have been other gatherings of alumni over
the years, however, none on a sustaining basis.
During the 1970
Imlay City Centennial Celebration the superintendent and his secretary worked
side by side to plan a school reunion where over 1,000 people were in
attendance. The affection and respect that alumni had for their alma mater and
the pride in their legacy was strikingly evident at that event.
During the
Blueberry Festival of August 2001 a survey was conducted to determine interest
in holding another event and/or forming an alumni association. The response to
that survey showed great interest and a charter meeting was held on February 21,
2002, and the Imlay City Schools Alumni Association was formed. The first
all-class reunion was held that year in August with over 300 alumni in
attendance.
An all-class
reunion was held during the Blueberry Festival the first weekend in August in
2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006. In 2006 it was decided to hold all-class reunions
on an every-other-year basis. Members of classes that have reached their
50-year milestone anniversary are recognized with a “Golden Diploma” and
inducted into the Half-Century Society at these all-class reunions.
The legacy of the
Imlay City alumni is a proud one. Our goal is to preserve that legacy into the
future. We invite you to join the Imlay City Schools Alumni Association. JOIN THE ASSOCIATION HERE
