The “Washington DC Chapter” of the Nash Central Alumni was established on October 20, 1976.  Several graduates from Nash Central Senior High School (formally Nash County Training School) met at Southeast Gardens in Oxon Hill, Maryland to organize one of five chapters of the Nash Central Alumni Association.  The “Washington DC Chapter” accommodates Nash Central graduates or attendees principally in the Washington, DC metropolitan area.  However, any Nash Central Senior High attendee may join the chapter.

Mission

The mission of the “Washington DC Chapter” is to financially enhance the higher academic growth of our young adults, and the quality of life in our environment.  Its members subscribe to wholesome beliefs and strong leadership qualities.  To support the academic growth of our young adults, the chapter sponsors several fundraisers each year in order to provide a scholarship though the O. D. Moore Scholarship Foundation.

Since the inception of the “Washington DC Chapter”, quality leadership was exhibited by past presidents James E. Odom, Bettie D. Powell, and Ara (Tena) J. Bullock.
