Beechwood Alumni
Beechwood employs a full-time Graduate Coordinator to keep in touch with alumni. Mrs. Connolly works closely with Beechwood eighth graders and their families to help them prepare for their high school experience, arranging onsite visits to schools and assisting them in the application process. She also helps alumni connect with support and enrichment programs.
Beechwood graduates remain an active part of the Beechwood community. They often return for informal visits in addition to participating more formally in the classroom, sharing principles and experiences with current students. We are proud of our growing family of alumni and applaud their hard work, determination, and willingness to give back to the community.
Annual Alumni BBQ
Always held on the first Friday in June, Beechwood School’s Alumni BBQ is a popular event. Graduates and their families are invited for delicious food, live music, and a huge photo display of Beechwood’s students and teachers since Beechwood began. The 2008 alumni reunion will be held Friday, June 6 from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm on the school’s campus. All alumni and families are invited.

Beechwood graduates go on to attend many fine high schools, community colleges and four year universities. Alumni have attended Menlo College, Stanford University, Fresno State, Long Beach State, Columbia University, Santa Clara University, UC Santa Cruz, St. Mary’s, Trinity, Mt. Holyoke, Wesleyan, Foothill College, De Anza College, College of San Mateo, Cañada College and others.
