Are you ready to leave your legacy as proud Blue Devil alumni? It’s time for the Class of 1996 to make a lasting impact on Quincy Public Schools! Join the Class Circle Challenge and help secure a brighter future for generations of Blue Devils to come.

A Class Circle is an endowed fund created by each graduating class. Once the Class of 1996 reaches the $10,000 goal, your Circle will be fully funded and begin contributing to Quincy Public Schools. But it doesn’t stop there! The larger the endowment grows, the more funds are generated each year to enhance educational opportunities, support vital programs, and ensure that students have the tools they need to thrive.

Every dollar raised makes a difference and strengthens our schools in perpetuity. Together, we can build something truly impactful.

Let’s unite, Class of ’96, and show the power of Blue Devil pride. Donate today and grow our legacy!
