Welcome to Alma College International Alumnae Association

Alma Lives On Thanks to Alumnae Donna Robertson (1962-66) and Joni (Page) Pypka (1954-55), Alma lives on. With permission from the owners, Donna and Joni retrieved 120 bricks from the Alma College property days after the fire. Each brick was inscribed with the date of the laying of the corner stone on May 24, 1878, to the date of destruction May 28, 2008. Bricks were sold at the June Reunion 2008. Alma College in St.Thomas, Canada was a private boarding school for girls, founded in 1877. The school ceased operations in 1988 and formally closed in 1994. Sadly, on May 28, 2008, the main building was destroyed by fire, yet its spirit lives on in its many alumnae and their accomplishments. The Alma College International Alumnae Association promotes continued fellowship among its members. It cultivates close ties between past students, teachers and staff of Alma College through communication, reunions and networking. Today, the Alma Alumnae still hold an annual reunion in June in the St.Thomas area. Our semi-annual reunion was held in Trinidad and Tobago in 2005. We are planning another semi-annual trip to the island of Bermuda in 2009.
