  • Alumni Participation

    Recognizing that Indian Springs alums are critical to the ongoing success of the school and that the Alumni Council, as a whole, is charged with assisting in the facilitation of financial, social, and professional involvement of alumni with the school, the AP Committee’s mission is to increase alumni giving to the annual fund and to capital campaigns by increasing alumni attendance at Alumni Weekends, annual Holiday party, annual Alumni Luncheon, and all other school social events and by identifying and/or developing alumni volunteer opportunities within the school’s academic and student life programs as well as encouraging their involvement as class agents or Alumni Council members.

  • Ambassador

    The Ambassador Committee is charged with increasing Alumni Council involvement in the community and being a resource for prospective families attending Admission open houses.

  • Membership

    Recognizing the school’s need to maintain an active and vibrant group of Alumni Council members, the Membership Committee’s mission is to identify current Council members' interests, skills, terms, and contributions to the Council's efforts and to suggest and recruit the best qualified new members as needed.
