Welcome to the Venice High Alumni Homepage

Welcome...

Welcome!

School has started and the renovation of the high school is moving along nicely. There are a lot of pieces of heavy equipment on campus making noise, moving dirt and demolishing buildings. Before the students came back the workers were able to remove the entire covered eating area and the student store building. That area is fenced off for the safety of the students and staff.

I had the pleasure of hosting the reunion of “THE OLD BROADS OF ‘53” at the Alumni House on August 5th. These ladies have been meeting every year for the last 15 years. They enjoyed the history of the Alumni House so much that they have already booked a date for next year. A big thank you goes out to Toni Carlton for organizing that nice reunion of 24 ladies.
At our latest Open House I had the pleasure of chatting with Jeff Fenton (‘76) who has a remarkable memory of his high school days. Our next Open House is on September 9, so stop by and take a look at all the memorabilia that we have.

Our annual showing of the movie Grease is coming up on Saturday, September 30 on the football field. You might want to consider buying the VIP package which will get you good parking, two strong men to help take your cooler, chairs and blankets to the field, and delivery of food to your movie viewing spot. If you do not care to buy the VIP ticket which is available on our website, the admission is free and you get good entertainment and lots of food choices at the student sponsored booths. It is a great family night.

October 20 will be our inaugural Hall of Fame induction. I hope to see a good crowd for this big night. The names of the first class of inductees are in an article in this issue of the Acclaim.
I didn’t get too much response from my request for some of you to become “class reporters.” I would still like to hear from more of you to tell us about what you and your classmates are up to.
