Why should you join us?
We are family!! This is the dawn of a new era, the threshold of history and another giant step in the amalgamation of Ilegrams Alumni in North America. It is a positive momentum not only in appreciation of our common ground, our alma mater, but also in contributing to continuous improvement of Ilegrams, fostering the kinfolk and fraternity among all Ilegrams children, and splendidly cutting across all generations and persuasion.
The school was 70 years recently. The road to greatness of Ilesa Grammar School has been tough and rough. The success story of the school is due to the unrelenting efforts of the founding Proprietor of the school (Egbe Atunluse Ile Ijesa). Now is our time and opportunity to add another page to history. Hop on the Alumni "school bus", and work passionately with other alumni, join one of the committees and task forces, and let's work together to rejuvenate our brotherhood and "Omoluabism", and as we count down to the grand inaugural ceremonies of IGSOSA- North America.
