2006 Atherton High School Alumni Association
Hall of Fame Inductees |
|
|
In 2001, a small alumni group gathering at Atherton High school had the vision
of honoring Atherton alumni who have contributed to our community and our
country. Through this vision senators, a brigadier general, authors, teachers,
university presidents, doctors, financiers, congressmen, entrepreneurs, a ballerina and more
have been welcomed home to Atherton High School and inducted into the Atherton
Alumni Association Hall of Fame. Our list is distinguished, impressive, and
inspiring to each of us. It is especially important for the students of Atherton
High School to witness this rich legacy. |
