York Community High School Alums' Association Will Foster Camaraderie: Founders

A group of York High School alumni are in the process of starting an association that will serve and support the school's graduates through communication and camaraderie.

The mission of the York Community High School Alumni Association (YCHSAA) will be to foster and enhance the respective community; maintaining a strong relationship between the school and its alumni; preserving, promoting, and celebrating the history, traditions, and memories of York; and contributing to the growth and welfare of the school and its students.

Founders are aiming for a 2017 establishment date, which will align with the school's 2018 centennial celebration.

The YCHSAA will be free to join and will not require any dues. It will be open to all those who attended York as regular members and to friends of York as associate members. Benefits will include being able to participate in Association events and receiving an electronic newsletter with alumni and current York updates.

Those interested in joining the YCHSAA can do so by visiting the York alumni website at www.elmhurst205.org/alumni and clicking on the “update your personal information” button.

Further information and updates on the York Alumni Association may also be found there. Plan to stop by the white Alumni Tent, located just inside the gate, at next Friday’s Homecoming game.

The YCHSAA planning group meets monthly at the District 205 Administrative Center at 162 S. York in Elmhurst.

Meeting dates and times will be posted on the alumni page of the District 205 website.
