The Alumni Association strives to keep alumni connected with events, programs, and benefits. Activities of the Alumni Association are supported by our Affinity Partners TD Insurance and Manulife.

Junior Achievement was formed in 1919 and established its first presence in Nova Scotia in 1969 with the generous support of the Halifax Board of Trade. Our mandate is to provide youth across the province with opportunities to learn about business and entrepreneurship. Volunteers from the business community deliver the programs through a variety of classroom activities, discussions, and exercises that simulate real world business practices. JA delivers four programs from grades 6 through 12: Our Business World, Dollars With Sense, ESIS: the Economics for Success, and Company Program. At JA, we go beyond the books and theories to showcase the ingenuity and enthusiasm of each student. Our programs allow young people to develop creative approaches to new ideas, and new learning experiences. In the 2011-12 school year, 13,500 students participated in JA Programs and 900 volunteers from the business community assisted us in delivering the programs.
