How many students were in your graduating class? Do you recall all of your favorite friends from your elementary, middle, or high school classes? And as time goes by, aren\u2019t there special people from your school and classes that you have classic memories with that you probably haven\u2019t thought of in years? <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A class list breaking down all of your old schoolmates is sure to give you a trip down memory lane. But where can you find a list of the alumni from your school? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Classmates\u00ae, you register through your high school, and can then join as an alumni for your elementary, middle school, high school and\/or college too. So once you\u2019re registered, you\u2019ll automatically see a list of all of the other registered alumni to your school and grad year. And if your yearbook is in the Classmates digital yearbook collection with half a million U.S. yearbooks from over the decades, you can see the entire list of students from your class directly inside the pages of your old yearbook. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s more details about a class list, how to find yours online with Classmates, and when having a list of alumni might be of value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a Class List?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A class list<\/a> is just what it sounds like: it is a list of students within a certain school, class schedule, or teacher\u2019s classroom. In elementary school, it likely refers to students within a single classroom that work with the same teacher year round. In middle, high school, and college, once students have differing schedules and teachers<\/a>, it likely refers to the entire graduating class at a school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, for example, if you and your friend Lucy both had Mrs. Smith in fifth grade, she was on your class list. But if you and Lucy both attended the same high school but never had a class together, if you graduated at the same time she\u2019d still <\/em>be in your high school<\/a> class alumni list. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Find Your Class Alumni List<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a few ways you can access your \u201cClass List\u201d on Classmates. When you register for free<\/a>, you select your school name and graduation year. As soon as you\u2019re logged in, you can see a full list of everyone else registered as an alumni from the same school and grad class. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your yearbook is available in Classmates’ yearbook collection, you can also upgrade to CM+ to see all of the core pages of your book, including the sections featuring the class photos<\/a> and full names of your fellow graduates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s details instructions for both ways of finding your class list<\/p>\n\n\n\n
