What an incredible weekend—over 175 alumni and faculty from Allendale, Columbia, and Allendale Columbia Schools—joined us at the All-Alumni Cocktail Party.
A highlight of the weekend was honoring Rob Ward ’85 with the 2025 Distinguished Alumni Award. His heartfelt remarks reminded us all why AC continues to hold such a meaningful place in our lives—and why giving back matters. You can check out photos from the celebration here.
Thanks to those who joined us at the AC Alumni Holiday Celebration!
The AC Alumni Association proudly hosted the annual Alumni Holiday Party at Tin Cup Social, co-owned by Mike Mrzywka ’01, on December 30, 2025.
A generous thank you to our sponsor, David C. Burdick '85.
AC provides so much more than an education---it offers a lifetime of personal and professional connections. Along with current students, parents, faculty, staff, and friends, alumni are a key part of the AC network.
AC relies on a strong network of alumni who give of their time to support the extraordinary AC experience. Volunteers help organize class reunions, participate in phonathons, serve as campus speakers, and much more.
Gifts made each year to Allendale Columbia School provide students with critical resources and access to a transformative academic experience.
The generosity of the AC community can be seen our students' ability to succeed in college and in an ever-changing world. These students go on to serve and lead the communities in which they live.
The AC Alumni Association is a volunteer body with class representation from a variety of years. The mission of the Board is to partner with the Office of Advancement and Alumni Engagement to build and perpetuate an alumni community of support for the school.
At Allendale Columbia, we prepare students for the world they will inherit. In our trusting and responsive environment, students 18 months through grade 12 grow in confidence and develop scholastic independence.
