What an incredible couple of days we had welcoming back members from the Owego Free Academy Classes of 1975 and 1976. It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces reconnecting and reminiscing about their time at OFA, and to witness their reactions to how much has (and hasn't!) changed.

The stories and memories shared during the tours of the building truly highlighted the lasting spirit of our alumni community. We loved hearing about your favorite teachers, memorable moments, and seeing the pride you still have for OFA.
