On Saturday, May 9, 2026, the Rochester (MN) Alumni Association proudly hosted its Inaugural Kappa League Induction Ceremony, formally welcoming its Alpha Class comprised of six exceptional young men representing grades 6 through 11. We are deeply honored to invest in the academic, leadership, and personal development of these promising young men.

The ceremony was marked by a profound sense of pride, achievement, and optimism for the future. We extend our sincere appreciation to the parents, families, and supporters whose presence and encouragement contributed greatly to the significance and success of this occasion.

We also offer special thank you to the Kappa League Advisory Committee — Brothers Dr. Will Flood (Advisor), Dr. Timothy Jackson (Co-Chair), Kevyn Perkins (Co-Chair), and Dr. Renaldo Blocker (Polemarch) — for their vision, leadership, and steadfast commitment to cultivating a learning community of excellence through an enriched curriculum aligned with the Seven Phases of Kappa League.
