MISSION 
                              of the Waller/Lincoln Park High School Alumni Association

We commit to facilitating communication between Waller/Lincoln Park High School and its alumni. By uniting the past with the present and recognizing the bond that all former students share, we wish to foster past memories and friendships, while creating new ones. Through various publications and mailings, our members are kept informed and invited to participate in various activities and events. As a result of on-going and special fundraising efforts, we will reward exemplary graduating seniors for noteworthy academic efforts as they pursue knowledge that will allow them to become contributing citizens of our society. In addition, to the extent possible, we endeavor to support certain of the school’s programs.

 

RECENT HISTORY

The re-activated Alumni Association originated as a committee of Friends of LPHS in early 1997, in order to invite alumni to the Waller/Lincoln Park High School Centennial Celebration in April 1999. The first Board of Directors was elected in January, 2001; we are a recognised 501(c3) non-profit organization. We are in contact with almost 8000 graduates, of whom almost 1450 have become dues-paying members at least once (most renew yearly). All contacts receive the twice yearly Waller/Lincoln Park Alumni News, our newsletter most recently published in December, 2007.
All alumni, alumni parents, alumni friends and former staff may join the organization by sending a $15.00 yearly membership fee. We also offer a Lifetime Membership ($150) if you prefer. This fee supports publication and mailing costs of the Alumni News, as well as any other mailings and activities of the Association.

A major part of our mission is providing monetary awards to deserving, needy seniors, to help with college expenses. Thus, fundraising is one of our important activities.
The Alumni Association also provides information and assistance to those who are serious about organizing reunions of their class. Thus, we are quite interested in having up-to-date information about Waller/LP alumni: their whereabouts, status and life activities.
