Class of 1983

Class of 1983! It’s been over four decades since you graduated as proud Quincy Blue Devils, stepping into a world undergoing significant change. Now, you have the opportunity to come together again—not just to reflect on your shared past, but to build a lasting legacy.

Through the Class Circles Challenge, your class can raise $10,000 to establish a permanent endowed fund—your Class Circle—that will support Quincy Public Schools students for generations to come. This fund will provide critical resources for technology access, arts and music education, mental health services, athletics, and college and career readiness—ensuring every Blue Devil has the opportunity to thrive.

Your Class Circle Fund is just beginning, and it starts with you and your classmates. Every donation helps lay a strong foundation. Each gift strengthens the fund and expands its long-term impact—building a more supportive school system where students, educators, and the entire QPS community are empowered to help young people succeed. It’s a powerful and lasting way to give back to the community that helped shape your journey.

Your senior year was filled with leadership, creativity, and memorable moments. Whether on the field, on stage, in the classroom, or through service, the Class of 1983 left an indelible mark on Quincy High School. You embraced the spirit of the times with resilience and unity—shaping the culture and traditions that define the Blue Devil experience today.

The world you entered after graduation was rapidly changing. In 1983, the ARPANET adopted TCP/IP, laying the groundwork for the modern Internet. The first mobile phone hit the market, marking a new era of communication. Michael Jackson’s Thriller ruled the charts, The Police’s “Every Breath You Take” topped the year, and MTV transformed pop culture. Amid this backdrop, your class stood out—adapting, leading, and thriving.

Now, it’s time to channel that same spirit and pride. Reach out to your classmates—teammates, artists, student leaders, and lifelong friends—and invite them to be part of this legacy. Every gift, no matter the amount, brings you closer to completing your Class Circle. You can track your progress online and celebrate every milestone along the way.

By supporting your Class Circle, you’ll help ensure today’s students benefit from the same opportunities you valued: access to arts and athletics, essential technology, mental health resources, and career development programs.

Forty- two years ago, the Class of 1983 helped shape the heart of Quincy High. Today, you can carry that spirit forward—creating a legacy that uplifts future Blue Devils for generations to come.
