REDWOOD ALUMNI COUNCIL & ASSOCIATION

The Ad Hoc Redwood Alumni Association was established in October, 2006 to create an Alumni Directory and help organize Redwood's successful 50th Anniversary in April of 2009. The RAA is now under the auspices of the Redwood High School Foundation. The Foundation Board will include alumni representation to work for the benefit of Redwood High School. All fundraising activities will be administered through and for the Foundation.
