What is the Alumni Association?
To renew old friendships and reconnect with classmates
HOW WE STARTED
Over the years, there have been many alumni associations attempting to unite RUHS Alumni together. Our motto became: “To renew old friendships and reconnect with classmates.”
In 1997, by re-establishing the Redondo Union High School Alumni Association, Inc., we tasked ourselves with two main goals: to provide scholarships to longtime RUHS Alumni families and publish a newsletter to help spread the Alumni Spirit. Since that time the Association has added two more significant items to that list: collection and maintenance of an Alumni database, and an Alumni Walk on the RUHS campus.
Who qualifies as an RUHS Alumnus?
Many have asked if they are included in our definition of alumni. Let it be known that to the RUHS Alumni Association, regardless of the strict interpretation of the word, ‘Alumni’ means anyone who attended Redondo Union High School regular classes for any length and at any time over the years. We classify only to what graduating class that person did/would have belonged. We also say Welcome!
The good news is that if you attended RUHS at all during your high school career, you are automatically a member of the RUHS Alumni Association. The bad news is that many RUHS Alumni don’t know this and therefore don’t get involved with us. The Board meets four times a year to conduct Association business. But all RUHS Alumni are invited to the Annual General Membership meeting before each year’s Homecoming game. Elections for the following year’s Officers, Board Membership nominations and appointments to the various committees are held at that General Membership Meeting. Consider this an open invitation and we hope to see you there!
Mission Statement
The purpose of this RUHS Alumni Association is to preserve the friendships formed while attending Redondo Union High School and to promote alumni interest in the school and its students. It is important to note that Alumni Walk proceeds and all other donations to the Alumni Association go specifically to annual RUHS student scholarships.
