Alumni Open House 

Join your fellow Bexley classmates and alums from both near and far at Bexley High School on July 5. Whether you are here for a class reunion or just want to stop by, we’d love to have our student tour guides show you around.  As you reminisce with friends and share memories, you’ll have the chance to see how the school has changed (or not)!

School District administrative leaders will also be on hand to provide an update on the facilities planning process as it moves into the “options phase” and what that might look like for future generations of students.

Although no RSVP is required, it will help us to plan if you would complete this quick response form or email Wendy at Alumni@Bexley.us with your attendance plans.
