Alumni Happy Hour
It was great to see so many Chinquapin alums / alumnas and friends at our first ever happy hour gathering on Friday December 15th. Please check back here for information about upcoming alumni events or contact chinquapin.alumni@gmail.com for more information.

Citizenship Granted

Chinquapin graduate Simon Nhial Malia ’05 gained his U.S. citizenship at a ceremony on September 21 with Judge Simeon Lake presiding. Nhial came to the

United States from Sudan and is currently a sophomore at Bethany College in Kansas. Reporters and film crews were on hand as Judge Lake presented Nhial’s history and told the crowd about Chinquapin.

New 'Old' Photos

We've scanned in a few photos of our older alumni. Check them out on the Alumni Association's page. Help us create a better gallery by sending in your own photos, or spending some time on campus scanning in our old ones. Contact David or Sandy for more info.

Campus Visit Etiquette
First, we want to say that we love to see alumni on campus.  You are good role models for our current student body and we love to see you interact with them.  However, there are a few guidelines that we would like you to follow in order to prevent embarrassment for our newer teachers and to maintain a safe environment here.

1.  If you see a new teacher or adult that you don’t recognize on campus, please introduce yourself and

mention that you are an alumnus or alumna and the year you graduated.
2.  If you come in the evening to play basketball, please leave the campus at 10:00 p.m. when the gym closes.

3.  Please do not take any student off campus without permission from one of us.

4.  Please do not go to the dorms and hang out with students because usually they are supposed to be doing something else.

We think following these few procedures will help avoid some uncomfortable situations of the past as well as help protect our students from unknown intruders.  Thanks for helping us with this issue, and we hope to see many of you soon.
