Turkey Valley Community School - Alumni

05/17/2026

We are so excited to finally share what will be happening at our Open House next month! In 2024 we hosted Turkey Valley's wrestling champions, and in 2025 we welcomed with 1985 Turkey Valley State Baseball Championship Team.

This year, The Lawler Historical Society is proud to honor and celebrate the 1982 Turkey Valley State Softball Championship Team. They will be riding in the Lawler Irish Festival parade on Saturday, June 20th, and then joining us at The Starlite Ballroom at 2 PM that afternoon to discuss their memories of their championship team.

We hope to see you there!

ATTENTION VETERANS 🇺🇸
A message from the current TV Social Studies Teacher:

My name is Michelle Nystel, and I am the Social Studies teacher at Turkey Valley. I am currently working on a project to gather the names and photos of all Turkey Valley graduates who have served in the military.

If you or someone you know is a Turkey Valley graduate who served, please consider sharing their information, including years of service, branch, rank, and any additional details you’d like included.

Our goal is to create an honor wall within the school to recognize and celebrate the service and sacrifice of our graduates. Thank you for helping us make this tribute possible!

Please e-mail the information to me at [email protected].
