Message from the Board President: (19-AUG-2009)

Neil Eubelein with the Kemper Development Company reported to the City Council last night that there is a potential buyer for the Kemper Property. He reported that this group has a definite vision and a well thought out plan with a desire to open up a military school for grades 9 - 12 and eventually off an Associates degree program for college. This is still very early in the process and will take a substantial amount of funding with estimates of at least 10 million to rehabilitate the buildings, etc. They are estimating tuition of $25,000 to $30,000 which means the group will have to be proficient in securing grants and other funding for the students.

I will continue to pursue this and get as much info as we can and we will of course offer any assistance to the Kemper Development Corp. into making this a reality.

Reunion 2009 RSVP: (28-Jul-2009)

Please visit the RSVP page and let us know if you are planning to attend the October 10th Alumni Reunion in Kansas City!

Campus under construction: (05-Jul-2009)

The city of Boonville informed us that it has placed a fence around the campus due to the vandalism done to the new windows put in. There are no plans to demolish the campus. The fences are there just to safe guard it.

Alumni Finder: (05-Jul-2009)

A link for the Alumni Finder has been added above, which we believe will eventually be an invaluable tool for reconnecting old boys. For now, we have added search capabilities to our alumni database, but you can only see the name, city, state, and year information for old boys that match your search. We have some big updates planned for the Alumni Finder later this year, so please check back often!

March 2009 Kemperite has been issued:
