Calling all Croomies, Calling all Croomies! The Crooms AoIT Alumni Association, Inc. is looking for volunteers to fill the positions on both our Management Team and our Board of Directors. You do not need to reside in Central Florida for any of these positions, although it might be beneficial. If you are interested in serving, please read on and submit your name to scholarship@croomsalumni.com by the end of Thursday, May 31st.

The recipient of the 6th annual Crooms AoIT Alumni Community Scholarship is Rebecca B. Our review team was impressed with all of the applicants – however, we only have one scholarship to give. As we reviewed the applications, all of the students had unique strengths that made them excellent candidates: high GPAs, involvement in school activities, and various community involvement efforts. But, one student really stuck out for their community service.

Crooms Academy of Information Technology Class of 2005 graduate Matthew Carli has joined the Crooms AoIT Alumni Association’s Board of Directors. Carli officially joined the board on April 19, 2012 and his first board meeting will be in June.

Crooms Academy of Information Technology has been designated as a National Academy Foundation (NAF) Distinguished Academy for a second year in a row. Crooms AoIT is only one of eight academies nationwide to receive such an honor. The distinction is a result of the dedication and hard work of those involved with the academy, including Dr. Connie Collins and Academy Director Demetria Hayes, teachers, students, and advisory board members.
