Join the Alumni Association
The Alumni Association runs the Hall of Excellence and Sports Hall of Fame, in addition to facilitating reunions. They also offer scholarships to outstanding HHS graduates. Their work is almost totally funded by memberships – so please take a moment to join. It’s only $25 a year, unless you’d like to make a bigger donation. I know many of you joined during our 50th reunion year, but only a few of our classmates have current memberships. We can do better than that!
Alumni Honors
Speaking of the Alumni Association ... four of our classmates have been accepted into the honor halls since our reunion:
- 2017 Hall of Excellence - MaryBeth Koslap Petraco, who rose from nursing ranks to achieve a PhD and national recognition for her work with CDC
- 2018 Sports Hall of Fame - Bill “Otto” Otivich, outstanding Hastings High School athlete and scholar, and long-time coach and community leader in Irvington
- 2019 Hall of Excellence - Vanessa Merton, director of Immigration Justice Center, Pace University and recipient of too many other honors to list here (!)
- 2023 Hall of Excellence - John Chang, Lieutenant Colonel U.S. Army (Ret.) andVeteran's Advocate
Pretty good for a class that no one expected to succeed!
