HOW CAN IT BE NOVEMBER ALREADY?

Everyone probably has had their "candy fix" with Halloween behind us, daylight savings is ending which brings darker evenings ahead, and a major election for the Tam District and the country lurks around the corner.This fall has been filled with very successful Redwood athletic teams, continued recognition for being an outstanding high school, and a busy Alumni Council selecting distinguished Redwood Alumni in Athletics and for the Avenue of Giants. According to current Redwood Principal Barnaby Payne, 40% of Redwood's 2024 seniors had a GPA of 4.0 or higher with weighted grades! No more limits to taking only one or two AP classes! The buildings may be falling apart, but the students are thriving! If you want to know more about what's going on at your alma mater, you can follow the award winning BARK

WE HAVE LOST TWO GIANTS...

Bob Sargent, long time teacher and coach passed away this fall. He taught physical education, science, math, and driver training. Bob was passionate about teaching; always prodding his students to think and learn. While teaching, Bob coached RHS Giants football and basketball teams for several years, and then the golf team for three decades until his retirement in 2000. He was a man of integrity who was exceptionally devoted and committed to his family. Bob had a unique style and his own way of looking at life. He was warm, sympathetic and at all times true to himself. Good natured teasing and a twinkle in his eyes confirmed his affection for you.

Steve "Lou" Larsen was a very active member of the Redwood Community for many, many years. He served on the Alumni Council, was a leader and moving force behind the Redwood High School Athletic Hall of Fame, kept the stats for basketball teams over three decades and helped with coaching.  He was also a dedicated follower of classmate Pete Carroll and joined other classmates, plus a few hangers on in seeing USC and the Seahawks in numerous venues. Finally, he was a wonderful brother, uncle and friend to many. He is sorely missed.

The Redwood Alumni Association has purchased most of the surplus yearbooks from Redwood for a very good price...We can offer them to you for only $50 including shipping and handling. We have one or more for most classes since 1975, some classes being more scarce. If you have lost a yearbook or never bought one, and are interested, please contact info@redwoodalumni.org with your name, year of the yearbook, and mailing address. We will notify you and if the yearbook is available, will give you payment instructions! Yearbook purchase(s) are available to Redwood alumni only. If you have yearbooks from the early years and wish to donate them to Redwood, please contact the above email.
