Alumni Association
The Olathe Public Schools Alumni Association serves as a lifelong connection for all graduates, fostering relationships among former classmates, supporting scholarship initiatives that benefit students, and celebrating the outstanding achievements of Olathe alumni.
Dedicated to strengthening alumni ties, the association plays an active role in the community through key events and initiatives. These include hosting the Wall of Honor Banquet each fall to recognize distinguished alumni, maintaining a booth at Old Settlers to engage with the community, distributing scholarships to support Olathe graduates in their educational pursuits, and designing and installing a historical timeline in the Education Center to showcase the district’s rich history. Through these efforts, the association honors the legacy of its graduates while inspiring future generations.
