Grateful for our recent alumni gatherings in San Francisco and Santa Cruz that included recent Oak Grove alumni studying biology and political science, and those beyond their college years, pursuing careers in law and technology. It was so wonderful to catch up, and even more, how they connected with each other and the depth of our conversations. A special thanks to Brett `96 for taking the time to share his work at Joby Aviation!

We love to hear from OGS alumni! Reconnect by visiting: oakgroveschool.org/alumni to update your contact info. ❤️🦎
