The Class of 1972 had their 35th Reunion in the summer of 2007. They wanted to do
something for AHS as a gesture of GIVING BACK to their alma mater.
They chose to replace the brass posts and burgundy ropes that protect the school
seal in Center Hall. Actually the original posts and ropes were donated in 1972
by the Class of '72.
Their donations reflect a strong Rebel Spirit and pride for Atherton. |

ALUMNI ADVICE |
|
|
|
Michael Ashcraft, Class of 1975, and Nick Gardner, Class of 1971 are members of
the Atherton High School Tech Prep Business Advisory Committee. It is a group of
business and industry representatives, school administrators, counselors, teachers,
parents and students whose purpose is to advise educators on career and technical
education programs. The committee assists in the identification of labor market
needs and the evaluation of classes being taught at Atherton to ensure that the
students are learning the skills that are necessary to be successful in today's
workplace. The sharing of their ideas is invaluable. Their involvement truly demonstrates
their long time adherence to the spirit of Atherton High School. |

"The idea for the torch was borne out of gratitude. Having been fortunate enough
to have been inducted in the Atherton Hall of Fame in 2011,I wanted to do
something tangible to show my appreciation for this honor. I approached my
friends from the class of 1975 about the possibility of us jointly donating a
large wooden carved torch. We thought that a torch would be a fitting and
symbolic gift. Our hope is that it becomes a fixture and source of pride at the
school for many years to come.” -David Burks, Class of 1975 |
