Alumni Information Although Jones has changed from a two-year commercial vocational school to a four-year college prep, it is still the high school from which more than 18,000 students have graduated since February 1938. The evolution of Jones' basic mission and curriculum represents changes in current educational trends as well as major demographic changes in Chicago's South Loop community. The 'new' premier Jones College Prep fits nicely into Chicago's growing educational and cultural corridor. In June 2000, an Alumni Association for Jones Commercial was formed. Several attempts had been made in the past to form an alumni organization but were short lived. As a result, an organizational structure or mechanism has not existed for maintaining contact with graduates of Jones, a challenge when classes attempt to hold reunions. Jones, however, continues to seek the location of its many graduates. Of the more than 18,000 who have graduated, we have 6,585 registered in our online alumni directory, of which about 1,000 represent current names and addresses. If you are a graduate of Jones, past and present, please enter your class year and personal contact information into our online alumni directory available on this Web site. We have also provided an opportunity for you to share a special memory of your time at Jones through our online Memoir section which will help us build a 'Class Notes' section in future alumni publications. At present a significant number of Jones alumni have also registered on Classmates.com, another excellent way to connect with former classmates. If you are interested in registering or in learning what other alumni from the 'old' Jones Commercial are doing, check out www.classmates.com. In addition to the online alumni directory and memoir sections, check out details on recent and upcoming alumni reunions by clicking on the following links: You need to have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer to view PDF files.

The alumni association can possibly help you get another one. We have a supply of old yearbooks and sell them at $15 a copy. Maybe we can help. Just contact Charlie at 773-534-8600, x. 48616. Please contact us by entering or updating your information in our online Alumni Directory. We are eager to hear from you! |
