WELCOME
Happy 2017, Alumni! As we begin a new year, I want to reflect on 2016 and express my deep appreciation for all of you. It has been an exciting and successful year for our Galloway alumni community. Our Alumni Giving Week saw an increase in participation and total dollars invested in the school. Notably, our investments helped pave the way for the expansion of our campus last year with the purchase of new baseball and softball fields. Investing in Galloway enables our future alumni to have unique learning experiences and an ever-increasing quality of education. During the holiday months, we celebrated four class reunions (Classes of 1996, 2001, 2006, and 2011), had our first alumni speaker at GPS (Galloway
Alumni Association Executive Board
Professional Series), and celebrated with our always lively Alumni Winter Toast.

mayor of Brookhaven, was motivating. We left politics at the door and gained insight into John’s experience as mayor. I appreciated hearing how his time at Galloway prepared him for governing effectively by working to create a consensus among a community of diverse people and opinions. Now, more than ever, we must challenge ourselves to live by Mr. Galloway’s guidance: Become lifelong learners and lead with empathy and understanding. I have no doubt 2017 is going to be another exciting year at Galloway and a great one for our alumni community!
