Ballard Alumni 

The Ballard High School Alumni Association, Inc. was founded in 2019 by Steve Gowers, Class of '72, in collaboration with then-Bruin principal Dr. Jason Neuss. That same year marked the groundbreaking of the new Ballard High School football stadium.

Since its establishment, the Alumni Association has dedicated countless hours of support and raised millions of dollars, all to benefit the school and its community.
