Alumni Relations & Records Request
Since we were founded in 1831 as the Leake & Watts Orphan House, thousands of children have been a part of the Rising Ground community. If you are looking for information about yourself or a relative who lived at Rising Ground/Leake & Watts and would like to request alumni records, please download and complete our Record Request Form, and email it to Records@RisingGround.org. Or you can email us with questions. We’re happy to help!
Please note: the Record Request Form needs to be notarized.
