East Aurora Alumni organizations have their roots in the early 1900s. The Alumni Relations Committee aims to facilitate connections between current and past Tomcats, celebrate the accomplishments of East Aurora alumni, coordinate alumni events and preserve the history of East Aurora School District 131. This is the gathering spot for all former Tomcats, young and old! East Aurora High School graduates have earned the Medal of Honor, served in Congress, played in the NFL and NBA, represented Aurora in the Illinois Legislature, written best sellers, served as fire chief and police chief, earned the Navy Cross, advised the President of the United States and performed at the world’s greatest concert halls.
