Alumni Relations

 

The EFHS Alumni Association is comprised of all of the graduates of Enosburg Falls High School. The High School has been sending graduates into the world since 1891 and boasts a diverse, accomplished membership that, while it is dispersed across the country and around the world; is heavily represented in the Franklin County area. The association supports four primary activities.

1.     The Alumni Banquet celebrated on Saturday evening on the last full weekend of the month of June at the Enosburg Opera House.

2.     The Alumni Golf Tournament, currently being held at Enosburg Falls Country Club on the Friday preceding the Banquet.

3.     The Alumni Directory, the seventh edition published in June 2016. It can be purchased by mail or at Wood Meadow Market on Main Street in Enosburg. This edition has an addition 12 classes of graduates and numerous corrections and updates to the 2004 edition. A special thank you is extended to Marcia Blanco, the Digital Media Productions teacher at the Cold Hollow Career Center for her tireless efforts in arranging this edition of the directory for printing by Reprographics.

4.     The EFHS Alumni Scholarship is awarded annually to two graduating seniors.  Information on this year's fundraising efforts are provided below as well as on the EFHS Alumni Scholarship Challenge page.

2022 Events

The Alumni Banquet will be held at the Stonebrook Banquet and Event Center at the Dairy Center in Enosburg on Saturday June 25th, (banquet reservations thus far are below the minimum needed to use the Opera House). The doors will open at 6:00 p.m. for a Social Hour to be followed by the banquet at 7:00, a short Alumni Association meeting and then dancing to the sounds of DJ David Stetson until 10:00 p.m. Alumni who plan to attend are requested to contact Steve Hayes at jsteven413@gmail.com. Tickets are $25 for classes from 1970-2022 and $20 for classes 1953-1969. Complementary tickets are available for Alumni who graduated in 1952 or earlier. Please make every effort to place your reservations by 6/19 to aid in the completion of inclusive programs and name tags.
Reunion classes for the 2022 banquet include all class years ending in "2" or "7". Since there were no banquets in 2020 and 2021, alumni from class years ending in "0", "1", "5" and "6" are also welcome to attend as are any members from any graduating years.
Reunion classes are encouraged to invite a faculty member from their school years to the banquet. Two complementary tickets are available for the use of each Reunion class. Contact Steve Hayes to check on the status of the tickets reserved for your class.
We are adding email addresses to the Alumni Directory. Please send an email to jsteven413@gmail.com whether you plan to attend the banquet or not to assist in this effort.

 

The 2021 EFHS Alumni Golf Tournament was held at Enosburg Falls Country Club on Friday, June 25th. The tournament was a resounding success. We were sold out with 146 golfers. The tournament raised over $4200 for the scholarship fund. Thanks very much to our tournament organizing team, Susan Blouin, Lori Perley and Amy Severance for all their efforts.

The 2022 tournament will be held on June 24. The cost is $60 per golfer if you pre-register, $65 for golfers registering on the 24th. Registration will start at 8:00 a.m. at the clubhouse. The shotgun start is set for 9:00 a.m. Registration forms are available for download above.

Email invitations are going out to the Class of '72. If you haven't received one please send your email address to Steve Hayes at jsteven413@gmail.com. The alumni directory lists 65 members for our class, emails have been sent to the 8 addresses we have. I have received 5 responses with a current total of 5 attendees as of 4/5/22. 

Alumni Scholarships

We are working to enhance our annual scholarship award program. The Association has been incorporated and submitted an application for 501(c)3 status. The application has been accepted. We are now an official non-profit organization. This allows the use of Donor Assisted Funds to be used for contributions. We intend to leverage that status, combined with a matching grant program to increase the size of our scholarships in an effort to stay abreast of the rising cost of post-graduation education.

Alumni Directory Update

The seventh edition of the Alumni Directory was published in June of 2016; this edition includes an additional 12 years of graduates since our 2004 edition. Copies of the directory are available for purchase at the Wood Meadow Market on Main Street, Enosburg Falls for $15. Updates or corrections to the directory information can be sent to Steve Hayes (information above). 

We are adding email addresses to the Alumni Directory. Please send an email to jsteven413@gmail.com whether you plan to attend the banquet or not to assist in this effort.
