In
2014, El Camino High School will celebrate the 60th anniversary of its first graduation! As
a gift to the school, ecARTS spearheaded the creation of the El Camino Alumni
Association to allow alumni and retired staff members to maintain a connection
to their past while simultaneously staying abreast of the ECHS of the future.
The ECAA is a ground-breaking development for a school with a long history of
talented, community-oriented alumni and staff.
Since
its first class graduted in 1954, El Camino High School has never had an organized alumni
association. This summer ecARTS, with help from Athletic Boosters, PTSA,
students, faculty, and alumni, brainstormed ideas for the creation of a formal
El Camino Alumni Association. The current Strategic Plan of the San Juan
Unified School District mandates stronger alumni ties to its schools. The
school district not only supports our alumni association idea, but may use it
as a model for other schools in the district.
A
soon-to-be-unveiled website will be the portal to an interactive forum that
allows members to stay informed of current activities around the campus as well
connecting graduates with reunion committees. An event calendar, school
merchandise, and access to ticketed events will also be available.
Additionally, the current administration at ECHS recognizes the benefit of the
unique contributions of El Camino’s alumni as valued partners in support of
learning and hopes to invite community professionals to share their experiences
and talents with students.
Watch
for our fall launch announcement! The El Camino Alumni Association hopes to
usher in a new age of communication between campus and community.
Happy
Anniversary, El Camino High School. From ecARTS.
