ALUMNI ASSOCIATION HISTORY

Forty some years after Yorktown High School opened its doors as the "New School" in September 1960, a small group of alumni, parents and faculty incorporated the Alumni & Friends of Yorktown High School, Inc. as a Virginia non-profit corporation.

We started corporate existence in mid December of 1999, and have been meeting regularly to build the foundation to enable this service organization to become a reality. Our Articles of Incorporation explain our reason for being best:

The Corporation is to be a membership organization whose purpose is to develop alumni support of Yorktown High School, its alumni, faculty and current students through reunions, scholarships, career development, and other special activities. All such purposes shall at all times be exclusively for charitable, religious, educational and scientific purposes, including, for such purposes, the making of distributions to organizations that qualify as exempt organizations under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, or the corresponding section of any future federal tax code.

Whether you’re an Alumnus/a of Yorktown, just went to YHS for a few years, are a current or former member of the faculty or staff or just a neighbor or local business servicing the Yorktown Community interested in supporting the school, we consider you part of the Yorktown Community.

To get involved in this all volunteer effort, and help us make some real history, please drop us a note about your interest in volunteering at our permanent mailing address listed below. We had to remove our longstanding admin eddress because of spam.

Thanks.
