Young Alumni Committee

Group of Alumni standing together

Comprised of 10 graduates from the last 10 years, members of Warnell’s Young Alumni Committee serve a 3 year term and work to support school activities and encourage alumni participation. This committee hosts the Parker Memorial Golf Tournament in October and Sporting Clays Tournament in April of each year.  Through their fundraising efforts, this committee has named the Alumni Legacy classroom, created the Young Alumni Endowment for Leadership Training, The Young Alumni Undergraduate Scholarship, and the Warnell Young Alumni Georgia Commitment Scholarship. Since 2004 they have raised over $350,000 to support Warnell.
