Class of 2003

Class of 2003! It’s been over two decades since you proudly graduated as Quincy Blue Devils, stepping into a world on the cusp of transformation. Now, you have the opportunity to leave a lasting legacy by uniting once more through the Class Circles Challenge.

By raising $10,000, the Class of 2003 can establish a permanent endowed fund—your Class Circle—to support generations of Quincy Public Schools students. This fund will provide vital resources: technology access, arts and music education, mental health services, athletics, and college and career readiness. Every Blue Devil deserves the opportunity to thrive—and your support can help make that possible.

Your Class Circle Fund begins with you. Every gift—no matter the size—lays a foundation for lasting impact. Each contribution strengthens the fund and helps build a more equitable school system where students, educators, and the QPS community are empowered to succeed.

Your senior year was shaped by defining global and cultural moments. In 2003, the Iraq War began in March, drawing worldwide attention and protest. By December, Saddam Hussein had been captured. The SARS outbreak emerged as a global health crisis, emphasizing the importance of international collaboration. Europe endured a deadly heatwave, prompting new discussions about climate change and public health.

In science, the completion of the Human Genome Project marked a milestone in medical research. Technologically, LinkedIn launched, reshaping professional networking and digital connection.

Culturally, 2003 was unforgettable. 50 Cent’s Get Rich or Die Tryin’ dominated the charts, while The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King captivated audiences worldwide. Television shifted too—Dawson’s Creek aired its emotional series finale, while The O.C. and One Tree Hill made their debuts, redefining the teen drama for a new generation.

At Quincy High, you mirrored the spirit of that time—resilient, adaptive, and community-minded. Whether in classrooms, on stage, on athletic fields, or through service, the Class of 2003 set a powerful example of leadership and connection.

Now is the time to reignite that spirit. Reach out to your classmates—friends, teammates, performers, student leaders—and invite them to support the Class Circles Challenge. Every donation brings the Class of 2003 closer to completing your Circle. Progress can be tracked online, letting you celebrate each milestone together.

By supporting your Class Circle, you’ll help fund essential programs for today’s students—ensuring access to technology, the arts, athletics, mental health resources, and career development. Your generosity will help continue the spirit and opportunity you valued at Quincy High, inspiring every future Blue Devil.

By supporting your Class Circle, you’re celebrating the opportunities and memories that shaped your QHS journey. Let’s prove that the Class of 2003 remains united, generous, and dedicated to empowering the next generation of Blue Devils.
