FALL & WINTER... HERE WE COME!
It's hard to believe that we've just set our clocks back so it's dark in the evenings; the semester is half over and the successful fall sports are winding down; the mid-year election frenzy should be over; and the Alumni Association has finished their 2027 distinguished Alumni selections. Very soon the holidays will be upon us. Redwood's interum Principal, Lisa Kemp, also a long time English and social Studies teacher, is doing a great job at the helm of school. Test scores and college acceptances are up. The Redwood Bark continues to cover school, local and controversial issues. As an alum, you should be very proud of Redwood!

REUNION SEASON PART II THIS FALL ...

What is a reunion? It's an opportunity to reconnect with friends yhttps://www.redwoodalumni.org/Brooks-Tree-Care.htmou went to Redwood with as well as make new friends. High school reunions hold a unique place in the social fabric of our lives. They serve multiple purposes: a trip down memory lane, a chance to see how everyone has changed and evolved, and an opportunity to reconnect with those who were part of one of the most formative periods of our lives. For many, these reunions are a rare opportunity to revisit their youth, celebrate achievements, and reflect on the journey since graduation. They also offer a chance to rebuild bridges, forge new connections, and network professionally. In a world where social media often gives a skewed perception of people’s lives, high school reunions provide a genuine, face-to-face interaction that can be grounding and enlightening, an unforgettable evening that not only honors the past but also celebrates the present and future of its attendees.

ALUMNI BOARD... WHAT WE DO

Our goals are to provide connections, information and activities that connect current Redwood students with those that have walked the halls before them. We sponsor the Redwood Athletic Hall of Fame and the Avenue of Giants, recognizing distinguished alumni during their tenure at Redwood as well as their successes that followed. We accept nominations for each honoree every year, due on October 1. We work with the Redwood Foundation to raise funds for school projects in the arts, academics and athletics as well as for the alumni scholarships.  We host Alumni Speaker Day each year where alumni from a variety of classes come and speak to students, sharing the path they have taken from Redwood through their current career successes. We also promote alumni businesses through the Red Pages and collaborate with the Redwood Library to archive Redwood history and alumni contributions. And of course, we help classes organize reunions each year by providing class lists and contact information as well as helpful suggestions to the designated class officer for a successful event.

WE ARE NOW A NON-PROFIT 501(C)(3)!

We are closing in on our initial year as a non-profit 501(C)(3).  By becoming our own public benefit corporation, we will be better able to support our mission to maintain and enhance relationships that serve our alumni, students, and school.

The Alumni Association would greatly appreciate your financial help to support, enhance and grow the programs we offer on behalf of our Redwood community.
