Our Community

Alumni

Live Oak students are lifelong learners who love nothing more than a challenge. With their education as foundation, they pursue passions in a breadth of disciplines.

Live Oak graduates are able to take on the responsibility of helping create a just society. They become leaders with the capacity to meet the challenges and opportunities of their generation.

Alumni Changemaker Award

The Live Oak Alumni Changemaker Award is given yearly to an alum who models empathy and responsibility, demonstrates the capacity to create change in the community, and inspires action in others. In 2022, we honored our first Young Alumni Changemaker–a junior or senior in high school–recognizing that Live Oak students do not wait to make an impact in their communities. Most recently, we honored a pair of Young Alumni Changemakers from the Class of 2021: Justin Babler-Kuebler and Nala Urrutia. 

2025 Young Alumni Changemakers

Justin Babler-Kuebler '21

Justin has participated in student government for his four years at Drew and has created a pipeline of future student leaders whom he mentors. In his role as Student Body Vice President, he has created seminars on independent problem solving, conflict management, prioritizing, and public speaking. Additionally, he works on The 415, a school-wide music and food festival that hosts 500+ attendees. 

As manager of the Student Cafe, he donates the profits back to the school to subsidize event fees such as prom tickets. As co-founder of Drew’s Geography Club, he works to create intercultural understanding and appreciation among its members. As an Admissions Intern, he works on New Student Night which he transformed into an interactive experience that better aligns with the experiential pedagogy Drew.
Live Oak gave me the empathy and the ability to build relationships with people that is so important to being a leader. The school really taught me what it means to be a good person.

Nala Urrutia '21

Nala was selected to participate in an Ethnic Studies Working Group for her four years at Lick. Nala and her team’s goal has been to make Ethnic Studies a graduation requirement for all students at Lick. She advocated for the importance of Ethnic Studies to the school community, helped craft the curriculum for the pilot class, hosted forums for students to give input, refurbished the working group mission statement, and nominated students to lead when the seniors graduate. Additionally, she co-led a community meeting about Indigenous Art which included inviting an artist to speak about her art, her indigeneity, and how to use one’s voice for others. The Ethnic Studies course will launch in Fall 2025.
Live Oak implementing that idea that you can be a changemaker every day really helped me find my passion. I've been able to create small changes within my social group and school community. 

Meet All of Our Alumni Changemakers

Alumni Reunions

Each year we welcome back the group of Live Oak alumni who are currently in their senior years of high school. The event offers a chance for the alums to reconnect with one another, visit their favorite locations around campus, and interact with faculty and staff who helped make their experience at Live Oak a memorable one. We always appreciate the opportunity to stay engaged with our alumni and hear their favorite stories and experiences from Live Oak, especially as they are preparing to enter the next phase in their education journeys by heading off to college that fall.

Keep in Touch!

While our alumni may no longer walk the halls of Live Oak (although some still do!), that doesn’t mean that we want to say goodbye. We pride ourselves on creating meaningful connections with our students, and these aren’t relationships that end with graduation.
We are strengthened by alumni participation in life at Live Oak. We love to know what you are up to, celebrate your successes, and offer support to reach your goals. Every year, we host class reunions to reconnect you to the community as you prepare for life after high school. We encourage all of our alumni to come back to visit or volunteer at Live Oak. As our alumni community grows and becomes increasingly active, we look forward to hosting regional gatherings and relying on alumni leadership to create additional opportunities for engagement. 
If you are looking to stay up-to-date on the weekly goings on at Live Oak please follow us on Facebook and Instagram for updates, photos, and videos.
You can also help us keep up with you by filling out this alumni news & updates form. Live Oak is always looking to highlight alumni work, accomplishments, and life updates in the Live Oak Magazine. 
Whether you connect with us on LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, or by stopping by our Mariposa campus, we look forward to hearing what you have been up to!
