(Privacy Policy and FAQs Section)

If you are new to the website, please read this page as it will answer all of your questions on how to get a password, make a profile and how to use the website.

This website was created at www.classcreator.com website and is maintained  by your classmate administrator Dionne Hunte.  It is completely free to our classmates.  You will never be asked to pay to make a profile or to be able to access other alumni profiles.

You have the option of password protecting your personal profile which blocks the general public and search engines from accessing your profile details.  Once you create a profile, you will also be able to see the profiles of your fellow classmates and interact with them.
