Ridgewood High School Alumni Association (RHS AA) Update

We are on track to launch the RHS AA website during the summer of 2015. Expect to see plenty of photos and ideas on how you might contribute to this 501(c)(3). With an estimated 25,000 graduates spread across the globe there will be a myriad of ways and opportunities to further this lofty venture along. I expect many goals and ideas to be proposed, some more locally significant than others. Here is my hope for the RHS:

My goal for the RHS AA is to create opportunities for alumni in our connected age. To facilitate their coming together to solve collective problems through mentoring, networking, and revealing a wide variety of role models as to what it means to be successful and a contributing member to our common welfare.

Ridgewood High School Alumni Association!

"We are excited to announce the formation of the Ridgewood High School Alumni Association!

The Alumni Association will officially begin operating effective September 30, 2014. At the 7:30 pm meeting on the third floor of the Education Center, the Alumni Board of Trustees and officers will be elected and a vision for the Alumni Association will be laid out for the upcoming year. All alumni are welcome to attend.

To celebrate this new endeavor, alumni and friends have been invited to attend a dinner on October 2, 2014 at 8:30 pm at Novo Restaurant in Ridgewood. I will be attending and addressing the group, and hope to see many of you there. Seating is limited, so please contact Siobhan Crann Winograd (’91)(swinograd@hotmail.com) or me if you are interested in attending.

The Alumni Association will run very similarly to those seen on the collegiate level – it will promote alumni relations and activities, foster connections with alumni and RHS, and fundraise. Its official mission will be “[t]o celebrate and promote the collective experiences unique to the Ridgewood High School community and strengthen A Tradition of Excellence.” Its official Strategic Priorities will be to:

• Foster A Tradition of Excellence at Ridgewood High School
• Enhance the overall experience of existing students
• Strengthen communication and promote connections between alumni and the Ridgewood High School community
• Facilitate an active and dynamic alumni network
• Encourage participation in alumni relations programs

Alumni associations are quite rare among public high schools. The formation of ours is a testament to the enthusiasm and loyalty of RHS alumni. I hope you share my excitement for what I know will be a terrific venture."
