Welcome to the Venice High Alumni Homepage

Welcome...

Welcome!

To review some of our past activities, starting with the career day. Actually the administration decided to change the theme for the event this year from Career Day to Job Fair. They wanted all of the career participants to come with the offering of internships to the Venice High seniors at their companies. When sending out the invitations to last year’s participants, asking if they were interested in coming back this year, I only heard back from one person. Needless to say it did not come out as originally planned. Hopefully we can come up with something better for next year to involve those of you who are still interested in coming back to our school.

We were involved with a very successful business expo sponsored by the Venice and Mar Vista Chambers of Commerce. It was held on May 20, on the front lawn of the school, and the alumni association sponsored a beer and wine garden at the alumni house. There was a good turn out, and most of our visitors left with a very good understanding of the history of the school.

The senior awards night was held at the school on May 25 and we were very proud supporters of this annual event by presenting 30 deserving seniors with our scholarships.

The Alumni House is becoming very popular as a gathering spot. We have hosted several class reunions and many high school activities. If you are interested in having a class reunion or small gathering of high school friends, you may want to invite them to join you at the Alumni House. This years Venice High School Retirement Dinner was held at the Alumni House on June 3.

Please mark you calendars for this years Homecoming: Friday night October 20. It will also mark the inauguration of our first Hall of Fame induction. This will be an event that you will not want to miss.

I would still like to hear back from more of you about what you have been up to. When talking to different alumnus about the Acclaim, the part that most of you enjoy the most is reading the stories about fellow grads. Take a minute and jot down some of those high school memories, or let us know what has transpired in your life since leaving high school.

When doing your shopping don’t forget to use Amazon Smile.
