Please consider your gratitude for your experience at Pasadena High School: a favorite teacher, activity, classmate, or sports teammate. Many of us have positive, indelible memories from our Bulldog campus life. Your PHS Alumni Association asks you to consider a generous year-end donation toward our work in 2023 to support the special needs of the school and offer academic scholarships in May. The PHSAA is a certified 501c3 non-profit. Please send your donations to: Pasadena High School Alumni Association (PHSAA) 530 S. Lake Ave, #961 Pasadena, CA 91101 (626) 767-2925 phsaa@yahoo.com
