Alumni e-Pinion Now Available
To help us cut costs in printing and postage, we're making the Alumni Pinion available to Alumni Association member via email. But more importantly, the money used towards printing and postage is money that could be used towards more support of school programs (Robotics, JROTC, etc.) and student scholarships. In addition to helping us reduce expenses, an added benefit to you would be the instant gratification of receiving the Alumni Pinion via email instead of waiting for it via "snail mail." You will also get to view most of the pictures in color, whereas the pictures are black and white in print.
Subscribe to the e-Pinion now!
The e-Pinion is sent as a PDF file which can be viewed using the free Adobe Reader.
