2010 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. |
