Welcome to the Parma Sr. Alumni Association Web page
Hello, my name is Anthony DeMarco, President of the Parma Sr. High School
Alumni Association. I want to welcome you to the PSH Alumni website as
we have just changed our primary methods of communicating with you our
Alumni. We are embarking on replacing our fall newsletter, which has been
our primary communications tool for the past 15 years, with the webpage
version. We will still continue to provide a hard copy for the fall, winter,
spring and summer Newsletter by paid subscription. We will also provide
the winter, spring, and summer on line with a subscription to the online
directory. Our main goal will still be to keep you informed about future
events, recent news stories, and archival information of interest.
The first week in September, we provided a free expanded online Tradition newsletter with more archival and color photographs. The rest of the year we will try to provide a monthly series of articles to keep you informed and up to date. We hope that you will help us in this new venture by sending interesting articles about your remembrances of your years at Parma High, Schaaf, and PSH. We will put up vintage photographs and photos of some of our collectables to make the articles come alive. We will also keep you up to date about the upcoming reunions and accounts of the previous years reunions.
PSH ALUMNI ANNUAL MEETING - 8/3/10 @ 6pm
The Annual Meeting of the PSH Alumni Association will be held August 3, 2010 at 6:00 PM. It will be held at the Parma Recreation Office inside Parmatown Mall next to the JC Penney entrance on Day Drive.
We will be going over the current state of the Alumni Association and the current and 2011 reunions. Reunion committees from classes with 6 and 1 ending years will receive their packets as they enter. Included in the packets are the forms all chairpersons must complete and the release form for funds (this form needs to be notorized). The amount of money in your class account will also be included in these forms.
We will also vote on Alumni running for the board. All individuals interested in running for the board must submit a letter of intent to run no later than July 6, 2010. All letters of intent must be signed with your graduating last name and your year of graduation from PSH, Schaaf or Ridge Road. We urge all alumni chairs to attend the meeting. Voting on issues and board elections will be at that meeting. There will be door prizes for some lucky attendees.

If you are interested in the position, you must be a 70 grad and should have worked on a reunion committee before or had some work in organizing a wedding or other event planning.
