Greetings JY Lions and JY supporters,
As President of the Jack Yates National Alumni Association (JYNAA), it has been my humble honor to serve the alumni and work to preserve our rich legacy and empower our school and its students every year.
Next year, February 8, 2026, we will celebrate a tremendous milestone: The 100th Anniversary of the greatest school known to mankind—Jack Yates High School.
Whether you attended Jack Yates at 2610 Elgin Street or 3703 Sampson Street or 3650 Alabama Street, all JY alumni share the special bond that most people outside of JY can't understand.
As we prepare to celebrate our 100th Centennial Celebration, we want to share this Save the Date flyer for the exciting gala we have been planning for everyone.
On behalf of our outstanding JYNAA Executive Committee, we want to you to get ready to have an amazing time! ❤️💛
Throughout the year, the Jack Yates National Alumni Association will be holding celebratory events and activities, and working with other groups to ensure we honor our rich legacy all year long, including on Founder's Day.
Stay tuned for more, but in the meantime, mark your calendars and let us know if you want to volunteer and help us make this the best celebratory year EVER!
Hail JY!
Sincerely,
Jeffrey L. Boney, JYNAA President

Jack Yates National Alumni Association (JYNAA) was legally formed on January 7, 2015 as a Non-Profit 501c3 organization with a purpose to unite alumni, support our Alma Mater and strengthen the ties between our scholars, alumni, parents, community, businesses, colleges, universities and its feeder pattern schools to preserve the rich legacy, pride, excellence and tradition of Jack Yates High School.
Jack Yates Sr. High School was established February 17, 1926. Jack Yates Scholarship and Alumni Affairs was organized and formed August 26, 1989 under the leadership of Sara Gibbs which she lead until 2014. In 1995 an “Alumni Pledge” was created by Sara Gibbs ‘48, D. Langham ‘49, J. Robert Jones ‘55, I. Jones ‘55, E. Fisher ‘58 and R. Patten ‘66 to echo for years to come. Yates was in need of their alumni support, so Mr. Roland Cotton made a decision in Summer 2014 to form an “active alumni association” to reunite the alumni base to support and help rebuild our great institution, Jack Yates Sr. High School.
