CLEVELAND HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION

From the students who trudged up the hill to the new school in 1927, to the ones who initiated the killer deal on the Forest to becoming a STEM school today, it is the students and alumni that continue to define and display the Cleveland Spirit. Through many cultural changes since 1927, The Cleveland Spirit has continued to stay in step with the times.
CHSAA Giving Tuesday

Join Us for Giving Tuesday 2024!

Date: December 3, 2024

What is Giving Tuesday?

Giving Tuesday is a global movement that inspires individuals, families, and organizations to give back to their communities. Held annually on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving—and after the retail frenzy of Black Friday and Cyber Monday—Giving Tuesday is a chance to focus on generosity. This year, we’re rallying the Cleveland High School Alumni Association (CHSAA) community to make Giving Tuesday 2024 our biggest and most impactful yet!

Why Participate?

Last year, millions of people worldwide joined together to raise billions for nonprofits, making a real difference in their communities. This year, your participation can help CHSAA reach new heights. By contributing to our campaign, you’ll directly support programs that benefit Cleveland High School students and our broader school community.

How You Can Help:

  • Donate: Every dollar matters! Your contributions fund scholarships, activities, and vital school programs.
  • Volunteer: Share your time and skills to help us achieve our mission. Whether it’s a few hours or a day, your support makes a difference.
  • Spread the Word: Amplify our campaign by sharing it on social media, talking to friends and family, and encouraging others to participate.

Our Goal: This year, we aim to raise $100,000 to support Cleveland High School.

With your help, we can fund:

  • Scholarships for deserving students
  • Back-to-school supplies
  • Emergency backpacks for students in need
  • Support for athletics and extracurricular activities
  • InvestED funding for academic and personal growth
  • Trips and enhancements for the Cleveland Memorial Forest
  • And much more!

How to Get Involved:

Let’s Make a Difference!

On December 3, 2024, let’s come together as a community to show the power of generosity. Join us in making Giving Tuesday 2024 a day to remember for Cleveland High School students and alumni. Together, we can achieve our goal and make a lasting impact.

Reunion Challenge

From CHS Class of 1964

The CHS Class of ’64, in partnership with the Alumni Association, would like to challenge CHS classes to raise funds to support Cleveland High School!

Donate a minimum of $10,000 in a calendar year to the CHS Alumni Association and your class will get a nameplate on the Reunion Challenge plaque!  You (or your class, if for a reunion) can specify where the donation can be allocated to for the school. As with all donations to the Alumni Association, your gift is tax-deductible. Donations can be made online or sent to the CHSAA mailbox at P.O. Box 94004, Seattle, WA 98124-9404.
*Donating directly to the school or the CHS PTSA does not go towards the Class Challenge or the Eagles 100.

Let's build a strong alumni association

Currently there are more than 8000+ alumni association members and we keep growing!
We hold our annual meeting (open to all alumni) in February, and meet as a board about 4 times a year. View and subscribe to our Google Calendar. Anyone who attended Grover Cleveland Junior or Senior High School is a member of the Cleveland High School Alumni Association. There are no membership fees, but donations and volunteers are most welcome!
