Ansonia High School Alumni Association, Inc.

Giving scholarships to the graduating seniors of Ansonia High School, inducting them into the Alumni Association, and celebrating past classes, memories, and the history of our school. In 1878, this purpose was adopted to honor each new graduating class with a reception or banquet and extend the invitation to all Alumni henceforth. That has continued since 1878 (we are one school who has been able

to continue doing this - many have faded away). How great it is to see classmates, friends separated by time and distance, to catch up, to reminisce. Members of the Association meet with the Senior class each Spring. This is to explain the Alumni Association and why it has mean so much to so many Alumni all these years. This is also the verbal invitation for them to come to the banquet and dance as OUR GUESTS OF HONOR. They are also told that "this is the last free banquet" before they go on to college or out into the world to work. TO GIVE BACK TO THE SCHOOL. Our Scholarship Program started in 1977 and through donations by Alumni, has been able to give away thousands of dollars towards college to the graduating classes.
