Welcome Alumni
Welcome to the official alumni website for Ulysses S. Grant High School -- Portland's premier public senior high school. The Grant High School Alumni Association (GHSAA) is an alumni-led social and service organization bridging the past and future for the benefit of Grant High School and its thousands of graduates. |
Changes to our Generally Speaking newsletter
To our Grant High School Alumni:
To insure your dues and donations are used efficiently and to provide the best benefit to our members, changes are being made to the distribution of our Generally Speaking newsletter that is sent to alumni. Beginning with the Summer 2022 issue, the newsletter will be mailed only to dues paying members for whom we have a valid street address.
The cost of producing, addressing and mailing the printed newsletter has grown to a level the association cannot sustain. We print over 1000 copies twice a year, with each one costing over $1.50. Add in our time to address, stamp, and prepare these newsletters for mailing and you’ll see why we need to make some changes. The in-color summer and winter newsletters will continue to be emailed to all 5000+ of you for whom we have an email address, and a black-and-white printed copy will go out to our alumni who have paid dues.
In order to receive your emailed copy, please make sure we have your correct email and street address; you can send yours to us at grantalumni@aol.com. If you would like to receive the printed version, you will need to pay your dues, which you can do by clicking here.
Also, please consider serving a larger role in your US Grant Alumni Association. We have grown the scholarship fund, donated to the music department, have a centennial celebration to plan, and are a significant part of the Grant High School community. As with all groups of this kind, leadership must be handed off to new members over time, and our board is selected from dues paying members. If you are interested in serving, our Vice President chair is open and we can add seats on the board. Please let us know if you are interested in serving; you can contact me at rstayton@comcast.net.
