  Watkins High School Alumni Association News


“It is the purpose of the Watkins Glen Central School Alumni Association to carry on a tradition each year at the time of graduation. On the evening of Commencement Day, a dinner and meeting are held where graduates of Watkins Glen Central School can join together to reminisce of “School Days.” The record shows evidence of an alumni association as far back as 1904. An Alumni Association makes it possible to look back and carry on a tradition that shows a pride in the school of your graduation.”

The above paragraph is quoted from the 100 years Watkins Glen Central School District booklet publication that covered 1883-1982 graduates. The Watkins Glen High School Alumni Association was formally incorporated in 2007. Its mission: to provide scholarships to graduating students, to honor Distinguished Alumni, and to support the continuance of the annual Alumni Banquet.

To date we have recognized 17 Distinguished Alumni and awarded $72,300.00 in scholarships to 53 graduating seniors. Although the banquet could not be held this year due to the coronavirus, the Association awarded $1500.00 scholarships to: Maria Brubaker and Seamus Mooney and $1000.00 scholarships to Bryce Jacob Kelly, Kelsey DeMillo, and Briana Hayes.


Plans for the June 25, 2022 banquet will include honoring the 50-year classes from 1970, 1971 and 1972. The Distinguished Alumni recipient for 2022 is Kathleen Warner LaMoreaux ‘67. She will be recognized along with the 2020 and 2021 scholarship recipients at the 2022 banquet.


The membership of the Association is crucial to what we do. The annual dues are $25 and are used almost exclusively for Scholarships. The Association Board consists of volunteers and we keep operational costs to a minimum. Please go to our website watkinsglenalumni.org to find a membership application form, or simply send a check for $25 to WG Alumni Assoc., 301 12th St.,
Watkins Glen, NY 14891. Write in the memo portion of your check that it is for membership and please note your class graduation year. 

The banquet provides the forum for everyone to get together. It’s about prior and future graduates, friends, spouses, faculty, staff, school mates and classmates. It’s a wonderful tradition that the Association has been able to maintain because of the support from fellow alumni and friends. Without them it would not be possible. 

Thank you everyone………..!!!!
Peggy Doolittle Scott - President
