Helping the alumni association and getting write offs.

As most of you know, there is a brick and mortar 501(c)3 non-profit known as the Las Vegas High School Alumni Association

Annually, we host a Wildcat Reunion at the Orleans Hotel. During that reunion, we have a raffle to raise funds for the scholarship program. We ask if anyone has a business and would like to help by donating a prize from your business. You’ll get your name in front of alumni and a write off as well (PM me for a PDF of our non-profit status). You can also email us at: lvhsaamain02@gmail.com

Thanks to alumni donations, we have over 40 yearbooks available for a minimum donation of $50 to our scholarship fund. If you are looking for a yearbook, please send an email to lvhsaamain02@gmail.com and we will let you know what is available.

LVA LEGACY PROJECT & LEGACY PLAQUES - The LVHSAA is very proud of our President Bruce Langson (1965) who spearheaded a project to preserve our old LVHS campus on 7th and Bridger. Bruce, along with alumni Senator Richard Bryan (1955) and Bob Stoldal (1961) worked diligently on this project for several years, resulting in the Clark County School District committing $15 million toward renovation and upgrading the campus (now the Las Vegas Academy). The Academy students love the campus as much as those of us that attended there do, and want it maintained – not replaced!

Many thanks to those of you that purchased legacy plaques or pavers, which helped fund for the recent renovation of the old auditorium on the corner of 9th and Clark. Click thumbnails below for larger images.

If you didn’t already purchase one, it’s not too late!

Many of the LVHS staff members personally provide school supplies and food for some of their students. The school has established a Donation Center to collect supplies to help the needy students, and the LVHSAA provided funds to purchase storage supplies to house the donated items. If you would like to help by donating non-perishable food, clothing, school supplies, etc., contact us at lvhsaamain02@gmail.com
