MISSION STATEMENT & PRIMARY GOALS
MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the Oberlin Past Students’ Association is to promote, encourage, and engage in the development of Oberlin High. It will become and remain a stellar educational institution of choice for the immediate community and high school students in general. We can achieve this through collaboration with the leaders of the Oberlin students and teachers.
Additionally, OPSA seeks to cultivate a culture of ‘alma mater’ within the Oberlin Alumni community.
It shall be the purpose of the Alumni to:
- Seek to provide support (financial and otherwise) for the school and its programmes.
- Keep Alumni conversant with the programmes and activities of the school.
- Develop programmes that foster fellowship among members and encourage the growth and development of students and the school community.
- Assist the school in the growth of its academic, administrative, cultural, and extracurricular activities.
PRIMARY GOALS
Commitment – at least one significant fund raising activity each year.
Community – at least one ‘comradeship’ event each year to build the friendship or connectedness among the members and to attract other members
Fellowship – building commitment and a feeling of ownership through regular communication with membership keeping them updated on all events relating to the Association and significant events regarding the School. The communication medium will be social media, email and non-electronic means where necessary.
Membership – expand the membership of the association by carrying out a drive to contact persons who have expressed interest, members of year groups, others whose contacts have been obtained from friends and colleagues.
Service – serve the School in at least one significant way each year.
