📢 Big News, Dutchmen Family! Introducing the 1st Annual Distinguished Alumni Program! 🔴⚫

We’ve all seen traditional high school Halls of Fame that focus strictly on athletic stats from back in the day. At Annville-Cleona, we wanted to build something bigger.

We are officially launching a brand-new program to celebrate the entire journey of our amazing graduates—combining what they did right here in our hallways with the incredible things they may have achieved after graduation! Whether someone was a standout student-leader, a dedicated club member, or a star athlete while in school or went on to make a positive impact later in life, it all counts!

We are looking at the whole picture across all fields, including business, the arts, science, education, athletics, the military, and community service.
We are now accepting nominations for two distinct categories:

🏆 Distinguished Alumni Award
For grads who are at least 10 years past graduation (or long-term faculty alumni with 10+ years of service) who have done important, recognized work in their respective fields, their community, or right here at A-C.

🌟 Outstanding Young Alumni Award
For our rising stars! Open to grads who are at least 5 years past graduation and no older than 30 at the time of induction.

🎉 The Celebration
Selected recipients will receive a special plaque, a spot on a permanent display within the school, and a VIP reception leading up to a prime-time halftime recognition at a home varsity basketball game!

📝 How to Nominate
Do you know a fellow graduate (or yourself!) who deserves to be recognized? Help us kick off this tradition by submitting a nomination form.

Deadline: October 31, 2026
You can complete the online application using this link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfBcJCxhTW4vq0G6t2wJrtzvXZKmSs6rzz9nwNy-31nHFeNcA/viewform?usp=header

If you'd like a PDF version of the application, please email Tommy Long at [email protected]

We can't wait to launch this new tradition, honoring the incredible legacy of our A-C alumni while continuing to build on the proud history that makes our community so special!

I am so sorry, everybody. I didn't realize that today is the 2nd Tuesday of the month. These months when the 1st on a Wednesday throw me for a loop. Tonight is the ACAA meeting at the Annville library, not the 16th. I am so sorry for giving you the wrong information.

The next meeting of the ACAA will be on Thursday, July 16, at 6:30 PM at the Annville Free Library. Everyone is invited to attend - no obligation, no commitment. Come see what is going on and just be a spectator, if you choose. Hope to see you there!

Have you heard of the Annville Cleona Dutchmen Foundation? Don't confuse it with the Annville Cleona Alumni Association. The Foundation would love for you to be hands in, boots on the ground, at their functions. They provide help in various ways for students CURRENTLY in the AC District.

The Alumni Association deals with alumni. The only link we have with current students is the senior who is awarded the scholarship each year, a scholarship that is funded through our Hoss's Cash Cow fundraisers 3 times a year. We also accept donations to the scholarship fund, the newsletter fund, and the general fund.

I realize that with social media many classes don't get together for reunions, lunches, picnics, etc. but you would be surprised how much fun it is to actually see people face-to-face and catch up with them. A great inexpensive way to do this is the have a get-together at Hoss's in their private room and make it a fund raiser benefitting the ACAA scholarship fund. Hoss's does not charge for the room so your only cost is the price of your meal. The rewards? Immense!!! Laughter, reuniting with old friends and making new friends, and helping fund the scholarships. And, please, don't say, "Well, they never talked to me in school so why would they talk to me now?" Let me tell you something: WE ALL GREW UP. We are not the same immature brats that we were in school. I was a total wallflower in school and not many people even knew my name. Nowadays there are no cliques, no jocks, no cheerleaders. It's just us old people laughing and commiserating with each other on where the years have gone.

Give some thought to planning a get-together with your class!!!

If you or your classmates attended ACHS from 1981 to the present, we would love to invite you to join the Annville Cleona Alumni Association. What do we want from you? Nothing! We would like to include you in our quarterly newsletter mailing where you can get information on current get-togethers, news, and updates on (unfortunately) deceased classmates. If you choose to receive the newsletter, called the Dutchmen Chronicle, by email, it costs us nothing to share it with you. If you prefer receiving by USPS, we would appreciate a donation to help with the costs of printing and postage for the hard copies.

If there is a class representative who has location information on classmates, we urge you to send it to us so we can start getting the Dutchmen Chronicle out to you ASAP.

Go Little Dutchmen!!!
