Rooted in Legacy. Growing with Purpose.

The Montgomery School Alumni Association, Inc., was founded with one goal: to uplift our community across generations. From preserving rich neighborhood history to launching creative youth programs in the Montgomery Cultural & Enrichment Center, we are a gathering space for learning, expression, and lifelong connection.

Welcome from our Chair

PRESERVING LEGACY. EMPOWERING THE FUTURE.

As Chair of the Montgomery School Alumni Association, it is my honor to help steward this next chapter of our shared legacy.

From our seniors, whose wisdom shapes our roots, to our youth, whose creativity inspires our future, this center is a living bridge of love and purpose.

With deep gratitude,

Dr. Jacqueline Taylor
Chair, Montgomery School Alumni Association, Inc.

Our Community Impact & Partnerships

Partnership is not about power—it's about purpose multiplied.

TN State University

Through the TSU-2501 Grant, New Life In Christ Ministries (NCLIM) offered the 2nd year of
“Open Harvest” gardening so that the community can pick vegetables free of charge in order to
feed their families in the healthiest manner.

When we come together, we don’t just create programs—we create possibility.

United Minds

Juneteenth Celebrations and the Mother-Daughter Tea at Montgomery resulted from a partnership with United Minds on events providing the space, facility, and grounds.

Joy isn’t seasonal—let’s deliver it now!

Toy Extravagana!

Help us turn up the joy this July! The Montgomery Alumni Association is collecting new toys to support the Toy Extravaganza—because kids deserve to smile all year long, not just during the holidays.

If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” – African Proverb
