"
I remember it was a hot day and in those days we had no air conditioning in the building so we used to suffer when it was really hot. As you can see we were quite a diverse group with our own styles! I am now based in the UK. I still have very fond memories of my 6 years (4ème à Terminale) at Rochambeau."

"It was really a nice event and I believe everyone shares my feeling! Thank you to Rochambeau for hosting us. We decided NOT to WAIT ten years for the next one!" -

Les
Alumni
des promos de 1994, 2003, 2004, 2008, 2009, 2014, 2015 sont retournés dans le temps ensemble - en jouant au foot, en parcourant les yearbooks, en discutant avec le personnel et les enseignants, en se souvenant des autres, en racontant des histoires, en riant (beaucoup!) et en redécouvrant leurs anciennes salle de classes.
Un événement mémorable pour tous !

Nour Hammour, Class of 2004 and now also a Rochambeau parent, is a luxury fashion designer whose custom leather outerwear has thrilled the US and European markets. She returned to campus recently as a guest speaker and jury member for our 10th grade “Start-up Week”.
Nour's success story started in her parents' living room turned showroom in Paris. She and her business partner first offered their custom leather jackets to friends and then for wider distribution. With training from Istituto Marangoni, part of the Paris School of Fashion, she launched her fashion design company “
Nour Hammour
” while she was only in her mid-twenties! Nour would tell you that training and tenacity are required in equal measure to be successful.

Si vous voulez créer votre propre entreprise, vous devez apprendre beaucoup à l'école et c'est important, mais vous allez apprendre BEAUCOUP PLUS en travaillant dans d'autres entreprises. Faites au moins un stage ou une expérience professionnelle dans une start-up... Dans n'importe quelle entreprise, il faut commencer au bas de l'échelle et gravir les échelons.

I used to move the mannequins every day to clean, sweep the floors, clean the drapes. You’re not above any aspect of work. My dad’s advice to me: First one in, last one out."
