Greetings, fellow alumni and friends!

Welcome to the FOS/Alton Black Alumni Association (FOS/ABAA) website. 

The Black Alumni Association was founded in 2003 to provide a forum whereby alumni members can reconnect, network, and lead/assist the Alton community in its efforts to effectively serve its Black constituents.

All Black Alton High School graduates and former students are automatically members of the association.  A 25-member board of directors represents the associates.

FOS/ABAA has fostered alumni engagement with activities such as our signature event, the Alton Black Alumni Reunion. The reunion is a biennial affair that welcomes back and re-engages hundreds of alumni during the Labor Day weekend. The experience creates opportunities for Black alumni to become more connected to and interactive with its ‘hometown’. Providing scholarships, advocacy, support and networking opportunities have been just a few of the ways the association engages within the community. 

Getting involved with the association is a great way to give back, grow your personal and professional networks, and put your leadership skills to good use. Together we have the power to impact issues that are important to Alton’s Black community, in particular…and the broader Alton community, in general. Learn more about our story.
