Alumni
Ways to stay involved...
Whether you graduated two years ago or decades ago, you are a cornerstone of our school’s future. We want to stay connected...and keep you connected with your classmates and friends!
Stay Connected
- Send an update when you change your email, phone or mailing address. This will help us to let you know about events, reunions, and news that may interest you. Email alumni@easternmennonite.org or fill out our simple form.
- Attend homecoming activities, your reunion, and school events.
Build Connections
- Submit a nomination for our alumni stories celebration each fall at homecoming. Suggest an alumnus here.
- Refer a student: Send names of students K-12 (or their parents) who you think would find EMS to be a good fit. Email admissions@easternmennonite.org. Encourage them to schedule a visit!
Support
- Make a gift. Donations from alumni and friends make an EMS education accessible to more students.
- Volunteer: Let us know if you would like to speak in chapel, help with grounds keeping, serve on the alumni board, the board of trustees or help with events.
- Pray for our students, teachers, and staff. View news articles or our strategic plan for specific ideas.

Your Gifts Matter!
Alumni help us make an EMS education possible for people from a variety of traditions and backgrounds. It's a blessing to see our alumni who thrive in their work and service, and also in how they give back to our learning community.
Please consider how you might empower future leaders of integrity by making a gift to:
- the EMS Annual Flames Fund
- the Christmas Fund Drive when a student calls or writes
- the Virginia Tax Credit Scholarship program.
- an endowed scholarship
We also invite you to consider a legacy gift by joining our 1917 Circle planned giving program. Bequests from donors are a cornerstone of EMS financial aid.
With gratitude,
