🎓 From the Class of 1966 to the Class of 2025...
Some of us graduated years ago, some just recently. But we all walked the halls of Ballou.
The Level Up Conference scheduled for Friday, April 24th, (11 am to 1:30 pm) is our chance to tell the Class of 2026: We care. We see you. We support you. 🤝
We need alumni from every field—college, trade, military, workforce—to share their story and show that while our journeys were different, our roots are the same. Let’s make this a year they never forget!
