We're Looking For Pickerington Alumni
Pickerington Schools receives frequent calls about where alumni are and how they can be contacted. The district has no means to keep these records, so the Pickerington Education Foundation has taken on this challenge to connect alumni with each other for gatherings, for reunions, or just to be able to reestablish old friendships.
Help the PEF begin the process of finding Pickerington alumni by completing this form. This data will be used by PEF and the Alumni Committee to inform alumni of events for Pickerington graduates. Information provided here will not be released to any other group or entity.
