The Association of Ex-Pupils (AXP®) is a nonprofit corporation, organized under the laws of the State of Ohio, and is recognized as a tax-exempt organization. To ensure that our legacy continues well after the last ex-pupil is gone, we recently reorganized the AXP® into two governance Boards.

The first Board is arguably the most important - the AXP® Museum Board. This Board is responsible for the gathering, preserving and making available to the ex-pupils and the public the memories, artifacts, records, and stories of the children who once called this place home.

Second is the AXP® Social Board, which is designed to provide ex-pupils an avenue to maintain contact with their classmates and fellow ex-pupils through annual social events (e.g. Christmas Dinner, Memorial Day Services and our Reunion). In addition, this Board is also responsible for the updating/publication of our AXP® Directory and the publication of our semiannual newsletters.
