Plainedge Alumni Association Memorial Scholarship

It is with great honor that we announce the 3rd Year of the Plainedge Alumni Association Memorial Scholarship.

Our goal is to award this Scholarship to a Plainedge High School Graduate who has been accepted to a local Long Island learning institution. We are looking to help a student that is in need of financial assistance that meets our overall criteria. Our long term goal is to keep this scholarship program growing year after year.

This Scholarship is our way of honoring and preserving the memory of all Plainedge Alumni who have passed away. You can memorialize your loved one by having their name inscribed on the scholarship Certificate.

We are asking for your help and support through donations towards the Scholarship fund in memory of your loved one, friend or family member. All contributions will be documented, those made in memory of your loved one will be noted, and placed on a scholarship Certificate presented to the award winner at the PHS Awards Night, just prior to graduation.

We thank you in advance and with our heart felt gratitude, for your support in helping a PHS graduate achieve their goals of higher education.

Please fill out the form located on the sidebar entitled Memorial scholarship  and mail with your contribution to:

From our classmates about our weekend....

..."Well, I'm back from a real fun weekend on Long Island. Saw so many friends that I haven't seen in a long time. It was so great and I am so happy that I went!"

...."The 40th reunion was an ABSOLUTELY AMAZING weekend. I would personally like to thank ALL of you from the bottom of my heart for making this one ofthe BEST weekends ever.  We are so fortunate to have each other in our lives and I LOVE you ALL."

...." It was really great seeing you all. I wish we could have spent more time, but with all the wonderful people there, it was difficult get around to see everyone.  Hopefully, we don't have to wait another 10 yrs to get together."
