AHS Alumni Association Newsletters

Wow! Have we been busy!

Three AHSAA Newsletters jam packed with AHS Alumni news, letters, reunion information, photos, scholarships, honorary and distinguished Alumni, current AHS events, plus much much more, are mailed to all AHSAA members 3 times a year. It's mind-boggling to think how much time and effort and licking of stamps, went into the 60 newsletters below dating back to 1990 when the AHSAA was born.

So you don't want to spend the $6 per year, huh? Well, we would love to have you join, to recieve your 3 AHSAA newsletters every year. 19,000 newsletters were mailed to AHS Alum in May of 2009, this is because we used to mail a Spring AHS Alumni Association newsletter to every living Alum, but starting in May of 2010, because of the rising cost of paper, postage and printing, we now send a postcard, instead of a newsletter, once a year to non-paying Alum. The only way to have a brand new shiny newsletter mailed to you is to join.

If your Parents handed your copy of the newsletter or postcard to you, click here

Below are 60+ archived AHSAA Newsletters from our first year in 1990 through today, most are in pdf format, some are in web format. These are large files, so they might each take awhile to load. All 1990 to 2000 newsletters were scanned by Alumna Tami Kuhn AHS 1979, if they are scanned in they say "scanned" next to the name, a few are in web format, otherwise they are the original pdf from the printer. If they say join next to the newsletter name, then they will not be online until 2 years after they were mailed to members. Membership does have its advantages :-)
