AHS Alumni Association Newsletters

Wow! Have we been busy!

Three AHSAA Newsletters jam packed with AHS Alumni news, letters, reunion information, photos, scholarships, honorary and distinguished Alumni, current AHS events, plus much much more, are mailed to all AHSAA members 3 times a year. It's mind-boggling to think how much time and effort and licking of stamps, went into the 50 newsletters listed below dating back to 1990 when the AHSAA was born.

So you don't want to spend the $6 per year, huh? Well, we would love to have you join, but even if you are not a paying member you will recieve one free AHSAA newsletter per year. 19,000 newsletters were mailed in May, and if your mailing address is current with the AHS Alumni Association then every AHS Alumni should have received a Spring Newsletter.

If you are not receiving your one free Spring newsletter per year via snail mail, then please click here

If your Parents handed you your copy of the Spring newsletter, click here

Below are 50+ archived AHSAA Newsletters from our first year in 1990 through today, most are in pdf format, some are in web format. These are very large files, so they might each take awhile to load. All 1990 to 2000 newsletters were scanned in by Alumna Tami Kuhn AHS 1979, if they are scanned in they say "scanned" next to the name, a few are in web format, otherwise they are the original pdf from the printer. If they say join next to the newsletter name, then they will not be online until 2 years after they were mailed to members. Membership does have its advantages :-)
