IT'S SCHOLARSHIP TIME! Can you help?
Redwood seniors are receiving their acceptances to colleges but many are struggling to meet the financial costs of furthering their education. The Redwood Scholarship Fund, part of the Redwood Foundation, provides many students with financial aid based on academic excellence and financial need.
Please join the tradition of honoring a Redwood High School teacher or staff member by contributing to the Scholarship Fund. Feel free to include a note of appreciation along with your check, payable to the Redwood Foundation. We will send these notes on to the staff member (retired or current) or their families (if deceased.) Every gift, regardless of size, will have a lasting impact on our graduating students and their future education. Please mail check and note of appreciaton to: Redwood Foundation, 395 Doherty Drive, Larkspur, CA 94939, attention Scholarship.
SAVE THE DATE : OCTOBER 2 The Pig Skin Club, boosters for Redwood Football, are planning to honor the first championship team of '59-'60 with alumni football players from the classes of '59, '60 and '61 and Coach Troppmann being recognized at half time. Other festivities are in the planning stages.

REDWOOD ROCKS ON!! 2010 was held on Friday, March 12 at the Mill Valley Community Center. It was a great affair with close to 200 attendees. Next year we need to get more alumni to attend! Close to $30,000 was raised to complete the second floor Open Access Technology Lab. With everyone feeling the economic pinch, this was deemed quite a success. You can still contribute. Donation Form
WRITE our own NEWSLETTER: Please send us stories to include in our on-line newsletter: Send to newsletter@redwoodalumni.org. Include your name and the year you graduated. Some suggestions:
- Stories about your experiences, impressions of Redwood’s 50th Anniversary events (Athletic Hall of Fame, Day on the Green, Redwood Rocks at 50!, First Four Year Reunion, Mini-reunions…)
- Memories of your days at Redwood. I remember when…
- Honor your favorite teacher
- Share with us how Redwood has changed (especially if you have several generations of Giants in your family)
JOIN the Alumni Council! We are looking for some dedicated alumni to join in the planning. Only four-five meetings a year!
- We are looking for a DECADE REPRESENTATIVE for the ‘80s, ‘90’s and ‘00s who will connect with a contact person for each graduating class. We’d like to keep everyone informed about class reunions and class news. Contact council@redwoodalumni.org.
- CLASS CONTACT: If you are the person who has organized your class reunions, or plan to, contact reunions@redwoodalumni.org and let us know how to reach you…email and phone #. We will publish your reunion information and help you with your database.
- We have several technological needs. If any of you want to help, we need a DATABASE ADMINISTRATOR to update our Harris Online Community files. We also want to make the website more interactive with the ability to post information and current alumni news. If anyone has “social networking” interests, it would be great to get an active FaceBook group going as well. Contact: info@redwoodalumni.org
GIVE BACK TO REDWOOD :
- Stay connected to Redwood by making a donation to the Redwood High School Foundation to support academics, sports, arts, campus beautification and scholarships. Your name will be posted on this site.
- It’s not too late to buy a brick paver for the Lunch Plaza. If you visited the campus for the 50th you saw the beautiful new lunch area. Bricks will be added each spring to honor yourself, a staff member, group, team or friend.
- When you clean the attic, we welcome Redwood memorabilia from clothes and photos, to athletic and drama programs for the Redwood Archives in the library. Contact: archives@redwoodalumni.org.
