KHS Alumni Fund, Inc.
Rewarding educational excellence in the schools of
Keene, New Hampshire

Good teaching is essential to the continued strength and vitality
of our communities and of our nation.
Outstanding and inspirational teachers and staff deserve tangible
recognition for their essential contributions to society.

The KHS Alumni Fund, Inc. is the key to that recognition.

To annually recognize with substantial monetary awards one or more
outstanding teacher or staff member at Keene High School.
To raise and invest a capital fund from which the awards can be made.
The nomination and selection process includes students, faculty, staff and support personnel.
From this process is selected the KHS Outstanding Educator of the Year.
Each recipient receives an engraved crystal bowl and a financial award.

History

In 1997, a committee of the Keene High School Class of 1950
met to come up with a special or unique presentation to KHS for
the year 2000 in recognition of the 50th anniversary of their graduation.
These classmates wanted something that would be lasting and
remembered in years to come. Through much discussion and
considerable input solicited from the entire class the idea emerged
of honoring outstanding educators, those individuals currently in
the field of education who are impacting the youth of the Keene community
by setting high standards of excellence.

The KHS Alumni Fund, Inc. is chartered on behalf of all KHS alumni.
All KHS alumni are encouraged to become members of the Fund and
participate in its administration. The Fund also seeks the participation
of any other individuals or groups not necessarily alumni of KHS.
The Fund welcomes all those having the spirit and dedication to recognize
an important community resource.
