Renunions

Celebrate Your Lasting Connection To HRA

Hampton Roads Academy alumni reunions are vibrant and nostalgic events that bring together former students from various graduating classes to reconnect, reminisce, and celebrate their shared experiences. These events not only strengthen the bonds among alumni but also reinforce their enduring connection to HRA, ensuring that the spirit of their school days lives on through enduring friendships and lasting memories. Please contact Director of Alumni Relations, Tommy Yevak ’83, tyevak@hra.org with any questions.
