Mission
In the Chinquapin spirit of Quid pro Quo, the Alumni Association exists to give back to the school by becoming involved with the current student body, keeping up with alumni news, obtaining donations for the annual Alumni Association Scholarship, and aiding the school in its fund-raising efforts.
Meetings
Alumni Association monthly meetings are the third Thursday of every month at 6:30 p.m. at Los Molcajetes restaurant (1310 N. Wayside Dr.) at 1-10 and Wayside. All alumni are welcome.
*New: Read the minutes from the last meeting.
Mentor Program
The scholarship fund began in the spring of 1996. Julian Lopez ('87), along with a few other alumni, collected $500 that went to the first Alumni Association Scholarship. If you would like to contribute to the Alumni Scholarship, send a check at any time made out to the Chinquapin Alumni Scholarship and mail it to the school to Kathy Heinzerling's attention.
