Started
in 1987 at the request of the Board of Trustees
of the Upper Arlington Education Foundation, the
Upper Arlington Alumni Association is a
strong organization whose purpose is to keep U.A.
Alumni, faculty and friends connected both to
each other and to the school district. There are
few public high schools in the country who are
fortunate enough to have such an active and interested
Association!

TRADITIONS
UAAA
prints a newsletter, Traditions, twice a
year (Spring and Fall), which contains news
of Class Reunions,
articles about alumni and the district, and class
news. If you would like to contribute to the
next issue, please contact Joanie at the Alumni
Office at 614-487-5007, ext. 120 OR email
Bearalums@aol.com with your news.
OUR
DATABASES
The
UAAA maintains the database of all U.A. Alumni.
At this time we have more than 27,000 records!
This database is used by classes to contact their
members for reunions or other events. It is very
important that you keep your address information
current with the Alumni Office so your classmates
won't "lose" you! Remember, classes
do not keep the class records; the Alumni Office
is responsible for updating them. To update
our office with a new address or phone number,
please email
Joanie.
Our
email database now contains more than 12,000 entries,
having started out with merely 314 email addresses
in 2001, when Bearalums.com was born. To update
our office with a new or changed email address
or name change, please
email Ellen.
