Go Warriors! Opportunity Fund

Go Warriors! Aloha High School Opportunity Fund

We invite you to join 18 alumni classes and the Aloha community, in networking with other alumni to build the Go Warriors! Aloha High School Opportunity Funds! So far we have made over $18,000 in awards to 34 group requests! That's in addition to expanding the Go Warriors! Opportunity Endowment Fund capital base whose earnings will fund future requests! 

To celebrate the 1970-71 45th and 44th reunion, we established the Go Warriors! Aloha High School Opportunity Fund! It awards grants through the Beaverton Education Foundation to small student groups (8 or more) with seed money and fund optional class activities in a wide range of areas. The fund pools the resources of all alumni classes and the Aloha community to encourage initiative, planning, budgeting, problem solving, project execution and delivery. It it used to stimulate student interest in exploring academic, career and personal development.

Why build an endowment fund?

Traditionally endowment funds established by alumni were in the domain of private high schools. Recent news has focused on family income demographics of current students and educational funding challenges. Our effort will help change the current perception with a permanent resource and is a great way to let current and future students know that we care and consider them to be our most valuable asset as it was in the past!

The Go Warriors Endowment Fund is within reach of its goal of $65,000. Annual payout growth helps fund awards year after year.

Aloha Alumni 2024-25

 Reunions: Published several iterations of the alumni reunion schedule. A record 5 classes held reunions this year 1974, 1984, 1994, 2003, and 2014.

· On Oct 18th, 2024 2nd annual Alumni Homecoming event was held. We had almost every decade represented. We enjoyed student performances from the band, choir, music studio, dance team and met with students from the theater program. We learned a lot on those programs from staff who stayed beyond their workday. Other programs we visited included business, career center, auto tech, and woodworking. Matt wrapped up with an overview of upcoming construction changes and current opportunities for students to attend college part time at PCC for free plus district CTE programs. I also summarized the multiple types of alumni opportunities available to contribute with various levels of commitment and the rewards for doing so. See a short clip of the school tour
