Check out our WOPAL Alumni!

Once a Mountaineer, always a Mountaineer! 💙 Alyssa and Craig Vanderhoof grew up in West Orange, graduated from WOHS together in 2009, and today they're giving back to the community that helped raise them. Alyssa is a kindergarten teacher at St. Cloud, while Craig serves as a West Orange firefighter.

Both credit their West Orange upbringing, including the teachers, coaches, and lifelong friendships they made along the way, with helping shape who they are today. And when a personal family challenge brought new meaning to giving back, they knew they could count on the West Orange community.

It's a great West Orange story, and one worth sharing!
