Are You A Member of the Alumni Association?

The Commece-Cleveland Alumni Association (CCHSAA) is approximately 1000 members strong. We have room for so many more and your membership makes you a part of the program to assist Cleveland High in its pursuit of excellence. CHS played an important part in shaping our lives. Perhaps you want to "give a little back." Perhaps you want to know what is going on at the school today. Membership in the CCHSAA will help you reach either goal.

THE CCHSAA MEL KRAUSE

ATHLETIC HALL OF FAME

In February, 2008, the CCHSAA Hall of Fame was renamed after CCHSAA co-founder, premiere athlete and coach, Mel Krause. Mel passed away later that same year. Renaming our Hall of Fame in his honor is just recognition for this wonderful person who did so much for so many at Cleveland High. He is missed.

Pictures of those in the Athletic Hall of Fame can now be found at http://www.cchsaahalloffame.blogspot.com/.

Nomination Form for Distinguished Alumni Award

2011-10-12T11:47:00.000-07:00

WHO ARE OUR DISTINGUISHED ALUMNI

SEND US YOUR NOMINATIONS

The Commerce-Cleveland Alumni Association Distinguished Alumni Citations known as the "Order of the Feather" were first presented in 2009. There are now six members to this illustrious group. Each and every one of those selected were nominated by someone like you.

These awards are intended to highlight Commerce-Cleveland alums who have significant accomplishments in their chosen fields and who have become "beacons" for current students.

The award recipients are encouraged to visit Cleveland to share their experiences in classes related to their field of expertise. This sharing can truly enrich the students who will have tangible evidence of what is possible for them if they study and work hard while living an honorable life.

Nominations are accepted from alums as well as others who know and can truly represent the nominee's credentials. A committee of Alumni Board members will make the final determination of the year's award recipients in March of each year. Up to three awards may be granted each year and the honorees will be invited to CHS and to a reception in their honor.

Click on the Historical Pictures link to read about this year's winners and more about the criteria for selection.

If you know of an alumni that you believe would merit consideration as a "distinguished alumni", please fill out both pages of the nomination form shown below and mail them to the Commerce-Cleveland Alumni Association at PO Box 82898-Portland, Oregon 97202

Donation Form-General Fund

2011-10-11T11:45:00.000-07:00

Donations to CCHSAA General Fund??

The Commerce Cleveland Alumni Association has been in existence since 2001. CCHSAA maintains the website you are now viewing. We also publish two newsletters annually for distribution to members of the CCHSAA. Our annual golf tournament/auction is our largest fundraiser of the year. The surplus from that event supports all the work CCHSAA does with the school. That includes donations to athletics, computer labs, the arts and a host of other activities at the school. We need help each year to insure that expenses do not exceed revenue. Membership dues cover the cost of the newsletter. All other expenses must come from the golf tourney and your donations. Please click here http://www.donations-general-fund.blogspot.com/
to make a donation to CCHSAA general fund.

Thanks,

The Executive Committee
