ALUMNI ASSOCATION
Welcome to the South Park Alumni Association
Classmates, the South Park High School Alumni Association has a rich history of supporting students, fellow classmates and graduates and the community since 1919. For the past 8 months, a small group of volunteers has been working to revitalize the Association and regain the momentum of our past.
To do this, we have launched this new webpage and are building other social media platforms to facilitate communication with our classmates. Our intent is to post information on Alumni events, reunions, businesses, and other classmate-related activities.

POW/MIA Recognition Day
POW/MIA Recognition Day is commemorated on the third Friday of every September, a date that's not associated with any particular war.
We of South Park remember our 37 classmates who remain Missing in Action (MIA) from WWII, two POW's from the Korean War, and one from Vietnam.
Attention: Reunion Committees were here to help you plan
We also work with all reunion committees to help them get their individual class reunions off the ground. We can print any flyers or advertisement for class reunions. If their mailing qualifies, reunion planners can also utilize our non-profit bulk permit to save a substantial amount of postage. If you are interested in getting your reunion off the ground or joining an established reunion committee contact us at SouthParkAlumniAssociation@gmail.com and we will get you started.

Discovered while practicing with her classmates for the 1923 Christmas Program at South Park, she went on to become a world famous opera singer for many years and a voice teacher for many years after she stopped singing.

"Knocks" 1915-1958
Have you heard of “Knocks”? For 41 years, from 1915 - 1958, pages were assigned to the DIAL art staff who drew cartoon/caricatures of senior classmates as they saw or knew them. All in jest, each year is posted on this webpage under the “We of South Park” tab. Remarkable in creativity. For additional info:

Conclusion:
The Alumni Association is pleased to announce the conclusion of the Fallen Warrior Project, begun in 2014. This will occur May 17, 2025 with the posting of the remaining 29 CSC medals of the 131 we obtained. Of course, if you have information about other SPARKS we may have missed, let us know and we'll pursue it.
A plaque bearing the medals earned by the 29 will be posted in the Hall of Honor on that date.
We have participated in a nationwide effort to honor World War II fallen, "Stories Behind The Stars" initiative.
Part of Together We Served and Fold 3, South Park's WWII classmates stories are available via smartphone at their place of rest. More to follow on this.
Read more about them in the Fallen Warrior section.
