BDEA Alumni
Dear BDEA Community,
As alumni and proud members of the Boston Day and Evening Academy (BDEA) Board of Trustees, we’re honored to represent more than 1,300 graduates who are out in the world making their mark. This year, our school celebrates 30 years of reimagining high school in Boston.
BDEA is different because it welcomes every student with respect, embraces their full story, and inspires them to build the future they want. It’s a place where students learn at their own pace, form real relationships with staff, and are truly seen. We’re proud to be part of a community that proves what education can look like when it centers young people and believes deeply in their potential.
To our fellow alumni, we want you to stay in touch. Sign up to receive the BDEA Newsletter, update your contact information and follow BDEA on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn. We look forward to partnering with you to uphold our mission and values, build upon our deep and rich alumni network, and uplift the current students following in our footsteps.
With gratitude,
Dre Woodberry & Amanda Shabowich
Alumni Representatives, BDEA Board of Trustees
