Since Principia's founding by Mary Kimball Morgan in 1898, alumni in growing numbers have loved the concept of a school devoted to serving the Cause of Christian Science

Over the years, alumni have been willing to share generously in Principia's development and have devoted time and energy towards it success.

Since Principia's founding by Mary Kimball Morgan in 1898, alumni in growing numbers have loved the concept of a Office and the Alumni Board work together to support our alumni association members. Our members are comprised of graduates from the Upper School or College, former students who have attended for at least one quarter, dedicated staff or faculty members, who have served at least two years, and honorary alumni elected by the Board.

Benefits of membership include receipt of The Principia Purpose, up-to-date address and telephone listings of alumni, invitations to reunion, eligibility to attend Alumni Weekend reunions on both campuses, access to career contacts, and scholarship opportunities for children of alumni.
