Dear
Germantown High School Alumnus:
On
behalf of the Germantown High School Alumni it gives me
great pleasure to serve as President of The Germantown
High School Alumni Association, Inc. which was re-established
in 2003. We have a rich history of alumni, many who have
greatly contributed to our society and community both
locally and nationally going back as far as 1944.
The mission of the GHSAA is to foster and strengthen the
relationship between Germantown High School, its alumni
and friends; to preserve and promote the High School’s
traditions, purposes, growth and alumni; and to keep alive
the spirit of affection and reverence for our alma mater.
Our motto is "We talked the talk; it's time to walk
the walk." GHSAA is dedicated to its school and students,
making Germantown High School "a better place to
learn". So much has changed within the school district
since many of us graduated. Some schools are lacking the
resources to better educate the students.
In
December 2006, the association started a major project,
“The Library Project” tm. in response to the
tremendous need to upgrade Germantown High’s library
to meet state standards. Our plan includes a complete
renovation of our Alma Mata’s library and to equip
it with state of the art technology to give the present
students who are our future alumni something they will
be proud of and will cherish.
Together
we can develop and implement ideas to help our alma mater
by living our motto. We have the opportunity to make a
difference for our future alumni. As the old African Proverb
states, “It takes a village to raise a child.”
Our village is the students and community of Germantown
High School.
The
Board of Directors of GHSAA meet on an ongoing basis to
continue planning and implementing to reach our goal.
We invite you to join us on the second Tuesday of each
month for our general membership meetings. (See website
for time and location).
Moving
forward with this school year, GHSAA has plans to continue
with our fund raising efforts for the library project
and other concerns. We are planning an “All Germantown
High School Alumni Class Reunion” on November 21,
2007 in the school’s gymnasium. All Germantown High
School graduates and friends are invited. Further details
will be available on the website. (www.gtownalumni.com) |
