The Boys Town National Alumni Association is proud to host Boys Town's Class of 2026, all 60 of them, with a welcome luncheon on May 2, 2026. The event, which was a yearly event prior to COVID causing a pause, will give us the opportunity to welcome our brand-new alumni to our Association.

The delicious grilled steak luncheon will be held at the Great Hall at Boys Town beginning at 12:30 pm on the 3rd of May. Alumni board members, Matt Valenzuela, '85, John Soby-Cooke, '95, April Ascheman, '93, and Tony Jones, '88 will be the hosts for this special occasion.

Deadline for registration is April 24th. This has always been an outstanding event and the opportunity to spend some time with new alumni sharing generational Boys Town experiences is very rewarding.

On Veteran's Day 2025, we pause to honor those Boys Town alumni who have served and continue to serve in our nations defense. The storied history of Boys Town alumni in the service of our nation is replete with heroism and quiet service fulfilling their oath to defend the Constitution and our country against all enemies foreign and domestic. The legacy reaches all the way back to the first few boys Father Flanagan gave a home to through several wars and peacetime service. Boys Town alumni can be counted on to step forward to do their duty to keep our country free. In this regard we honor our brother and sister alumni for their service on this Veteran's Day, 2025.

Many "alumni" leave Boys Town having completed their program of care not realizing that they are indeed alumni of the most famous Village in America, simply because they left before graduation. The following article on our website should dispel that notion and welcome all who have been in residential care at Boys Town.

Membership in the Boys Town National Alumni Association is a benefit and privilege extended to all who attended Boys Town in their residential care program. It is not exclusive to only those who have graduated.
