Talas American School for Boys was a place of wonders, nestled in the Talas district of Kayseri, Türkiye. Established in 1871, it was one of the country’s oldest and most respected secondary schools, known for its rigorous curriculum, particularly in English, and its notable alumni. As a boarding school, it became a second home to its students, where friendships were forged and life lessons were learned, often within the school’s walls more than their own homes.

Talas Amerikan Okulu öğrencilerinin 1932 yılında başlattıkları gelenek, geçen yıl Cumhuriyetin 100. yılında mezunların Alidağ’da buluşmasıyla canlandırılmıştı. Bu yıl da 20 Talaslı dağa taşlarla “T.C. 101” yazmak için Talas’ta buluştu.
