In 2014 a group of Pasadena High School Alumni met and formed the first ever Pasadena High School Alumni Association (PHSAA). Stacy Harvey (1983) became the first PHSAA President. His enthusiasm and dedication to Pasadena High School (PHS) was instrumental in the creation of the PHS Alumni Association. Stacy passed away in 2019 and the baton has been passed to the members of the PHS Alumni Association. As Dennis Haywood said, “Stacy believed in bringing people together through the PHSAA, ” which is what we intend to do. The PHSAA will continue the legacy of bringing together past, present and future Bulldogs!
The Association was organized to provide the means whereby alumni may continue the friendships developed while undergraduates at Pasadena High School and to provide improvements and services for PHS. In addition, to support Pasadena High School , it’s academics and extracurricular programs and its student activities through contribution of equipment, material, funds and volunteer service:
- To provide channels of communications among those who have attended PHS and with current students, faculty, staff, and administrators;
- To preserve PHS memorabilia and historical records thereby strengthening its heritage and traditions;
- To maintain an alumni directory, sponsor alumni events and facilitate reunions;
- To award scholarships and other grants to deserving PHS students.
We want to ask all PHS alumni to reach out to other PHS Alumni to get involved. You may believe you owe nothing to your high school, but that isn’t true. Pasadena High School molded many of us into strong, productive students who were prepared to go out into the world and handle life’s battles on many levels. Unfortunately, many of today’s students aren’t getting the core values they need to succeed in life, and in the long run, that will end up affecting our community. So even if you don’t reside in Pasadena at the moment, you can still help. No Alumni wants to see PHS and the surrounding community in ruins or see it become foreign to what we remembered. We need your participation in the PHSAA meetings and events we sponsor because there is strength in numbers! We want our future members to be eager to join the PHSAA upon graduation.
Do you want to give back to your high school? Let us know! We are always looking for volunteers to help us make our vision a reality. We’ll help you find a way to volunteer that best suits you. We are excited to have you join the team!
We are a nonprofit organization 501(c)(3) focused on helping the students and staff at Pasadena High School make our alma mater into a great learning experience. Whether you help through monetary donations, volunteering your time, or spreading our mission through word-of mouth, thank you! We would not be able to accomplish our goals without the help of supporters like you. To contact a PHSAA Representative email phsaa@yhahoo.com or call (626) 767-2925.
Once a Bulldog, Always a Bulldog!
