Village of Grand Rapids Alumni Page

I was born in this town but left many years ago and would really appreciate either a guest book with e-mail addresses or an alumni page.

I graduated from Grand Rapids H. S. and would love to hear from old friends.

We have created this page for Grand Rapids High School, Otsego High School Alumni and past Grand Rapids Residents to submit their names & e-mail addresses for keeping up with past acquaintances. We are encouraging current residents to add their names also. (Form available at bottom of page)
