Greetings, fellow alumni, future alumni, prospective alumni, friends, family, and associates.

Reflecting on the journey of our esteemed founder, the late Honorable A. Wesley Powell, I am amazed at the providence of God. He had a simple dream, conceived during a time of disappointment in his youth, that started small on his verandah and turned into a remarkable reality, Excelsior-EXED. Since then, the Excelsior-EXED community has always been vital, providing academic second chances, opportunities in sports, the arts, and various aspects of life to the youths attending this extraordinary institution.
