Dear Fellow Whippets,
Are you a Whitewater High School graduate? If so, you're already part of something special, the Whitewater High School Alumni Association!
Since the 1960s, the alumni association has been on a mission to support our graduating seniors through scholarships and mentorship. The results have been remarkable. Over the last three years alone, they have awarded over $65,000 in scholarships to help our graduates pursue their dreams at four year universities, technical schools, and vocational programs. That's real impact on real lives.
Here's the thing though! They can't do this alone. While their scholarship fund has grown thanks to generous alumni and community supporters, their board and membership has shrunk to just four active members. They need YOU. Whether you graduated in the 1960s or the 2000s, they are looking for alumni who are passionate about giving back and want to help shape the future of our students.
The best part? Becoming a board member doesn't require a huge time commitment, but the difference you'll make is enormous. Your involvement could directly impact the next generation of Whippets pursuing their goals.
If you're interested in learning more about how you can get involved, please reach out to any of the current officers. They would love to hear from you!
President - Sonja Jacobson (Class of 1977) - (920) 253-8831
Vice President - Sarah Hoots (Class of 2006) - (509) 220-8570
Treasurer - Michaelis Gabbey (Class of 2010) - (262) 378-6567
Secretary - Janice Kienbaum (Class of 1967) - (715) 296-0658
Let's keep the momentum going and brighten the future for our graduating Whippets!
