In July of 2006 work began on developing a website for the Galion Alumni Association.We knew we wanted to have something special that would bring alumni to the site over and over again.The Association was young and trying to grow.It was and still is staffed strictly by volunteers who want to give something back to the Galion City Schools and the Galion Community where we all grew up.With that thought in mind, we will try to explain the purpose of the website, the benefits to the alumni and what we need to provide for an even better place for alumni to visit.
