• How does the Alumni Association determine how to allocate money from the donation Fund for teachers and student requests? Students, teachers, and school leadership submit allocation requests to the Alumni Association throughout the school year. Since the Parents’ Association is unable to fund travel, many of our after school clubs rely on the Alumni association to fund events and competitions. The Alumni Association partners closely with the Principal and school leadership to ensure that requests align with the priorities of the school and its initiatives. All allocation requests are then presented to our FTHHS Allocations Committee who approves or denies each request. Any funding requests must be ratified by the full Board. Decisions are largely based on the recommendations of school leadership, how many students will benefit, and the status of our current funds.
• I’m an Alumnus/a, why should I become a Dues-paying Member of the Association? All Fort Hamilton High School Graduates are invited to join the Alumni Association. As Members, your dues allow you to gain Members-Only benefits such as early access and special pricing for events, exclusive access to our digital yearbooks and the ability to connect with fellow alumni through our Directory portal (Coming Soon). Membership is the lifeblood of our organization. Dues are deposited into the Fort Fund, which is used to support Fort Hamilton High School, its students, and alumni. For example, dues are used to fund Alumni events, communications, and support allocation requests that are made by students and faculty. Dues are $25 dollars for students and retirees, and $5 for the most recent five graduating classes. All other members are kindly asked to pay $50.
