Benjamin Hurt Hardaway, Jr.
High School Alumni Association

The Benjamin Hurt Hardaway, Jr. High School Alumni Association was formulated by an energetic group of alumni interested in giving something back to their high school. After several planning meetings, the HHS Alumni Association was officially formed in July 2006. The alumni group exists for the sole purpose of providing needed resources to the high school, that they cannot access through normal funding channels. Their vision is to:

	Create a connection and common thread across the alumni group
	Improve the overall quality of the Hardaway experience for current students
	Recognize teacher’s and alumni for making a difference
	Provide financial support

The HHS Alumni Association Board of Directors is excited and energized about the possibilities ahead that will positively impact the Hardaway High School experience. The Board is requesting that all HHS alumni join in the excitement. Your involvement is necessary for the alumni to play a major role in supporting our high school. The alumni responsible for forming the group have worked closely with the principal and school officials to ensure a coordinated effort between the alumni group and the school needs.

Here’s how the HHS Alumni Association funding will work: The principal will meet with the grant allocation committee to discuss funding needs that originate from the teachers. A selection committee that consists of HHS alumni will be established to review the funding requests. The criteria for granting alumni funds will be based on the following factors:

	Advancement of the overall quality of the Hardaway educational experience
	The number of students impacted
	Funding is unavailable from other sources
