CHS ALUMNI SOCIETY SUPPORT

 

Any time is the time to support our expenses for the Alumni website. 

Use of the website is ALWAYS FREE and your donation of any amount is voluntary but VERY much appreciated! In the past, we have given over $4,500 to the CHS Theatre in past years in addition to donating bronze plaques to honor our CHS Veterans and the CHS Centennial, and purchase of a new patio table for the students. Future expenses willl include some yearbook scanning and uploading senior photos to the profile pages.

Go to the MEMBERSHIP page for details & the Membership Form. Your Member benefits include listing on the website, unlimited hugs & bragging rights!

Help Wanted!

This is YOUR Alumni Society & we can use YOUR help! If you can volunteer some time, here's what we need: 

1. Class Detective - at least one person in each class who will make sure your class roster is complete, correct & up to date! This means proofreading names, looking for duplicates, adding married names, confirming names for Memorial pages. No computer skills needed - just review your Class Roster & Contact Us with changes. Having a police background is helpful & inquiring mind essential! 

2. Scanner - to SCAN yearbooks. You must have access to a good scanner & time to carefully copy our CHS annuals. Living in or near Claremont is a plus for access to the books at CHS, but not necessary.

3. Marketing Experts & Social Networkers - to help get the word out to alumni about the Alumni Society & website! Do you use Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Bebo, Google Plus, Yahoo Groups, Tumblr, Meetup or other social media? Please cross-post our website link & reunion announcements!

 If you can help, please Contact Us!
 
Networking

ATTENTION Veterans!
 
Did you miss out on high school graduation?
 
Operation Recognition: Diplomas for CHS Veterans
 Operation Recognition is a California State program to grant retroactive diplomas to eligible CHS Veterans who were prevented from graduating from their home town high school. Veterans must show proof of Honorable Discharge and active pursuit of CHS curriculum prior to military service.

If you or a CHS alumni family member qualifies, please contact the Claremont Unified School District Board of Education (909) 398-0609.

 
Richard Bonilla (1974) (left) is the first CHS Veteran to receive his CHS diploma from Operation Recognition, presented by CHS Principal Dr. Brett O'Conner. Richard served in the US Navy. Congratulations, Richard!

THE GREAT YEARBOOK HUNT!
 We're doing a full-on yearbook search to fill out the permanent collection of yearbooks at CHS.  The school has a copy of most since 1912, but still needs these: 1925, 1926, 1932.
 
If you have a yearbook from any of these years, we'd love to have a scanned copy to add to the website. Please send a clean scan in jpg format including front & back covers and pages numbered sequentially to Sharon Esterley, esterley@aol.com.
 
If you wish to donate the book to Claremont High School, please send it to Principal  Brett O'Connor, 1601 N. Indian Hill Blvd, Claremont, CA 91711 to help preserve the history of our Alma Mater!
 
Graduation Class Photo: Do you have a group photo of YOUR entire class at graduation?  Scan & email it to Sharon Esterley, esterley@aol.com, to be posted on the Class Links/Website page (see Class of '59 photo!)

The CHS Alumni Society arranged for a flag to be flown over the US Capitol on September 2, 2011 in honor of the 100th anniversary of the dedication of the original CHS school building, and donated it to CHS.
 
 
Principal Brett O'Connor will exhibit the new flag
