Our Mission

The BPAA is a charitable alumni organization dedicated to supporting the Old Rochester Regional (ORR) schools and their community. Formed in 2021, the group selected its name and elected officers, later submitting revised articles of organization to the State of Massachusetts, which were approved on August 31, 2023.

To fulfill its mission, the BPAA focuses on the following areas of impact:

  • Building a vibrant, engaged alumni community across all graduating classes of ORRHS and ORRJHS.
  • Consolidating alumni resources—financial, intellectual, and volunteer—to benefit both students and alumni.
  • Collaborating with school leadership to develop sustainable initiatives that serve the entire ORR community.
  • Strengthening connections between alumni and current students, faculty, and staff through coordinated efforts.
  • Promoting a culture of service, encouraging alumni and students to leave ORR better than they found it.
  • Recognizing student leadership and school pride, whether through formal roles or quiet contributions.
  • Encouraging inclusive, positive class competition that fosters pride in ORR.
  • Organizing alumni events and programs aligned with educational goals, creating a network of mutual support.
