CONGRATULATIONS TO THE
2025 and 2026 AVENUE OF GIANTS 


Jim Clark '75, Bill Baringer '77, Aviva Rosenthal '90,
Paige Peterson '73Dan Schlager '77 and Jeff Craemer '66 

Over fifteen years ago, Redwood celebrated its 50th Anniversary and established both the Redwood Athletic Hall of Fame and the Avenue of Giants to recognize the excellence of its students. These students not only excelled in their chosen sports or career paths, but they are role models for future students.They continue to give back to their communities. Congratulations to our new inductees!

IT'S OFFICIAL...
WE ARE NOW A NON-PROFIT 501(C)(3)!

We are excited to announce that the Redwood High School Alumni Association has recently been designated as a 501 (c) (3) organization. Historically, we have operated under the umbrella of the RHS Foundation, but last year we determined that we needed to become a separate legal entity. 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.

As you know we currently do this through things like maintaining our alumni website and directory, acting as a point of contact for class reunions, honoring distinguished athletic and academic alumni by inducting them into our Redwood Athletic Hall of Fame and Avenue of the Giants including celebrating them at our annual banquets, creating opportunities for alumni to participate in the RHS community at our Alumni Speakers Day, and continuing to encourage donations to support the Redwood High School Foundation.

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

ANOTHER GIANT LOSS FOR REDWOOD... JACK HARTNETT

Long time Social Studies teacher Jack Hartnett celebrated his 95th birthday in December but took one look at 2026 and decided it was time to move on. He had been in ill health these last few years. Jack taught US History and Diplomatic History, and was the Social Studies Department chair until his retirment in 1984. He is responsible for the "golden age of social studies" in the '70s and '80s when the department offered as many as 15 electives and encouraged alternative programs like Environmental Education and On Location. Even though he was in the Marines, he was a big "teddy bear" and an avid Cal fan. 

ALUMNI IN THE NEWS...

Matt Morrison '80 has published a moving tribute to his daughter Marin, available through Amazon.

ALUMNI COUNCIL... 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 honor 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 Days 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 for a successful event. Your class officers will be the contacts for future reunions.
