Our Mission Statement:
The Kemper Military School Alumni Association is dedicated in assuring that the legacy of the school lives on by building a museum in Boonville, Missouri. We will help organize state and city Alumni chapters. Through the help of the Alumni Chapters and the Kemper Alumni Website, we intend to locate and contact “Lost Old Boys”. We will promote the ideals and traditions of Prof. F.T. Kemper.

9:00 AM - 2nd Annual Kemper vs Wentworth Alumni Trap Shoot
CALLING ALL ALUMNI!! Our great school is closed, but it does not mean that our great rivalry with Wentworth is dead.
Wentworth will be hosting the second annual trap shoot this year at the Lake City Shooting Range. The trap shoot will start at 9:00am, but you can start practice rounds at 8:30am. We need to field 10 to 15 shooters, so we need all the volunteers to step forward. You do, however, need to agree only to shoot at the clay targets, not at any Wentworth Alumni. For more information, please call Laura Williams at 501-312-5876. The cost to enter is $50.00 per shooter.
7:00 PM - Alumni Banquet
We will end the weekend on a high note with an Alumni Banquet. Join us as we honor our very own Chief Ignacio, who served as the Band Master of Kemper starting in 1976. We will also honor all class years ending in a 3 or 8. A biffet will be provided and there will also be a cash bar. The admission cost for the banquet is $50.00.
Lodging
The Holiday Inn Northeast, Kansas City is offering king or double rooms to Kemper Alumni for $84.00/night + tax. For more information, please call the hotel at 815-455-1060.
