Congratulations to our beloved Queen’s on 60 years! We are far away but we still think of you with happy memories and a never-quenching desire to ensure that The Queen’s School will always be remembered and respected.
The Queen’s Alumnae Atlanta Chapter (QAAC) got its start in 2000, when a small group of four past students found each other and reflected on the strong foundation their alma mater built for them, they decided to find other old girls and establish a chapter as a way to give back to the school, create a sisterhood of committed past students and function as a resource and network to each other. In the fourteen years since its inception QAAC has lived up to its mission and expanded and embraced its role as cultural ambassadors, local community organizers leaders.
From a computer donation to the Sick Room for mechanizing student records, books for the library, it expanded over the years to providing funding for scholarships, Art department supplies, support of the Discipline Alert program, Pickney Day, the Welfare Fund and CXC Exam Fund, fans for the classrooms and computers for the computer labs and staff room.
Raising funds is just one aspect of the success QAAC has enjoyed. Stable, dedicated, passionate leadership including: current executive Leslyn Weekes, Ann Simmonds, Francene Simmonds and Heather Potter; former executive members Sarah Vaughan, Sharon Mullings, Debbie Thomas and Sharon Ritchie Haughton has helped to build the chapter over the years.
The group of four has grown to about 80 alumnae in the metro Atlanta area and from various states. The group meets the first Saturday of each month and now utilizes teleconferencing capabilities.
