Alumni Overview

Asheville School’s greatest legacy is its alumni.

The lessons learned and bonds formed while they are students here are ones they carry with them for a lifetime.

To honor those lessons, generations of alumni show their support and stewardship of their beloved school in many ways.

They give to its annual and capital funds, serve on the Alumni Association or as a part of the Parent/Alumni Admission Network, or work as a volunteer. And they send their children and their children’s children to the same institution that provided them with such a good start.

I really learned that my limits as a human being were a lot further out there than I thought they were, and that’s on any number of different dimensions. I really learned to believe in myself and what I was capable of doing, and I learned that not succeeding at something isn’t necessarily failing -- that you can get up, you can dust yourself off and you can move forward and achieve even more.
