Alumni Association

The Alumni Association of Oakwood Friends School is an organization which promotes fellowship of all alumni and perpetuates their common bond with the school. Any person who was a student at Oakwood Friends School is a member of the Association. The annual meeting of the Alumni Association is held during Alumni Weekend.

The Alumni Association is governed by its officers and the Alumni Council, all of whom are elected at the annual meeting of the Alumni Association. The Council meets as often as is necessary to carry out its objectives, which include assistance with regional alumni gatherings, fund raising and education activities for the benefit of the school.

History
On October 18, 1898, thirteen former pupils of the Oakwood Seminary met and voted to become the "Oakwood School Alumni of New York City." The first president was Lindley Leggett, Class of 1889, and the first annual dinner of the new association was held on March 23, 1899 at the St. Denis Hotel in NYC. At that meeting, the name was changed to the "Oakwood Seminary Alumni Association."
