IC Alton Reynolds

Many often wonder about the name behind this tournament; Who was Alton Reynolds?
In memory of the late Alton L. Reynolds, President of International College from 1977 to 1986, we honor his lasting impact on our institution. A true educator and visionary, Mr. Reynolds transformed the elementary program, strengthened the connection between teachers, students, and parents, and left an enduring legacy in education. He was also one of the key figures in establishing ICAA as we know it today.
His dedication to education and student development continues to inspire us, and through this tournament, we celebrate his vision and contribution to IC.
