Fellow Alumni,

Wow, what an incredible journey it’s been! As I write this, I’m filled with so much gratitude and love for each and everyone, marking the end of my tenure as the president of our alumni association (2022-2026). Over the years, we’ve grown, laughed, and made memories that will last a lifetime! 

I’d like to express my deepest gratitude to each of you for your unwavering support, trust, and dedication. Your passion and commitment have driven our success, and I’m so proud of what we have accomplished together. 

As I rightly pointed out, in my address at the 19th edition of our Reunion Gala night – popularly tagged “Chicago 2025” – “the passage of time may have etched lines on our faces and painted strands of silver in our hair, the essence of our youthful spirits unyielding. Let us be like a flowing river, continuously moving forward while holding fast to the timeless lessons we learned in our youth”

Technically, my stewardship ended on January 22nd 2026, as I step aside to hand over the administration of the Alumni Association to the new president, in the person of Madam Lola Olamoyegun, it is gratifying to note that the affairs of the  association are in safe hands, there’s no doubt that our shared spirits and collective success recorded would be progressively sustained. 

To my executive colleagues, it’s been an absolute honor serving with you. Thank you for your tireless efforts, collaboration, and friendship. You’ve made the experience unforgettable!

As I pass the torch, I’m confident in our association’s bright future. Let’s continue to innovate, inspire, and make a difference! 

Thank you again and God bless.

UP SCHOOL!!

Olufemi Adeola 

President, AACHSA USA/CANADA 

2022 – 2026.
