Dear PHS/MHS Alumni,

I wanted to take a moment to thank our alumni for all their contributions in the 2024-25 school year. We could not have done it without you. The coming year, we plan to continue the great work we've established with our alumni in addition to looking at new ways to bring them into our Highlander community.

We are growing with close to 400 members in our database now. Please feel free to reach out if you have any thoughts, ideas, or comments that can help make us better.

Warmly,

David

Dear Alumni: If your class is interested in making an Alumni Class donation or donating a bench with a brass plaque for your PHS or MHS Class, please contact Pete Palmer at ppalmer@piedmont.k12.ca.us,

Thank you to our recent alumni for their contributions at the Young Professional's Panel back on February 27. Our panelists were:

• Frances "Frannie" Lahey-Teare, class of 2019
• Jordan Marcus, class of 2017
• Sara Siqueira, class of 2018

They were amazing! You can watch the recording here. I would also be remiss if I didn't acknowledge Linda Wendel, Sara Ironside, and Kim Hunter for their tremendous efforts at coordination and recruitment to make this go off so smoothly. And "thank you" to PPN for sponsoring the reception and Boosters for donating the gifts for the panelists. Lastly, kudos to Joe and Ms. ML for all the support.

Career Day this past February 28 was a resounding success. We had a campus full of wonderful speakers and students were able to partake in multiple sessions to listen and engage with speakers from industry, most of which are alumni from our community.

We plan to continue this tradition this coming year, as we look at ideas to make it even better. Please be on the lookout for an invitation later this year for interest in participating at the event.

Come support one of our recent alumni at Broadway SF this fall. Tyler Ellis is part of the class of 2016 and a product of Ms. Taylor's drama program. He has since done some great work culminating with a lead role in Shucked this fall at the Curran. Alumni can save 20% on tickets and each purchase benefits our school.
