The Power of WE: Wellness & Education is an inspiring one-hour virtual meet-up hosted by the 1976 Foundation, Inc. in partnership with Family Life Ministries.

This event will highlight how alumni, educators, mental wellness professionals and wellness advocates are working together to support both the students and teachers of Excelsior High School.

Through our commitment to Wellness & Education and our partnership with Family Life Ministries, the 1976 Foundation sponsors vital mental wellness services that help nurture young minds and strengthen the educators who guide them.

Whether you are a proud member of the Excelsior Class of 1976, alumni, faculty member or a mental wellness professional, this is your invitation to hear how we are making a difference.

Who We Are

The 1976 Foundation, a US-based charity, was established by the Class of 1976, deeply grateful graduates of Excelsior High School, Jamaica, which is fondly known as “XCLR” or “Age” pronounced [AGGI]. We owe our success in life to the excellent foundation we received at XCLR. As a way of showing our gratitude to our alma mater, we would like to “pay it forward” by helping to advance the dream of our beloved and revered Founder and Principal, Mr. A. Wesley Powell of making XCLR an inclusive, rather than exclusive, school.

The 1976 Foundation has established a partnership with Excelsior High School and Family Life Ministries to provide professional counseling to students in need of emotional support at XLCR. Under the terms of this recently forged tri-party agreement, The 1976 Foundation provides the necessary funding to defray the cost of all counseling sessions.
