When the Independence High School Class of 1980 alumni came back to their old Lincoln Heights neighborhood, it wasn’t just a reunion—it was a mission to give back. Many of these graduates were bused out decades ago, but now they’re stepping up to support friends and neighbors facing tough times. Over 100 residents enjoyed a hot meal, music, and even voter registration, while alumni connected people to housing and social services. This heartfelt effort is a reminder of the power of community roots and the responsibility to lift each other up. How do you think alumni groups can make a difference where they started? #Education #K12 #WestCharlotte
