What Can The Association Do For You?

Graduates of Potsdam Central have always had strong ties to their alma mater and fellow classmates, but a newly established alumni association will formally support and enhance this relationship. The organization will promote lifelong connections among fellow alumni, PCS students and its faculty and staff. Association membership will include those individuals who competed their graduation requirements at another institution, such as a prep school or The Clarkson School.

A comprehensive database is being created to keep graduates informed of school endeavors, provide a valuable resource to class reunion organizers, assist in the development of association programs and strengthen alumni connections. Your information will not be sold, leased or given to outside concerns. So please REGISTER TODAY! CLICK ON THE LINK AT YOUR RIGHT.

CLASS REUNIONS:
Class chairs are encouraged to link their own class web page to this site or post reunion information directly to this blog.
Contact Jim and Gail Baxter, Class of '65 to access classmates via the developing association database and to share alumni information.

REGIONAL ALUMNI EVENTS:
It is hoped that alumni will utilize the database to organize an alumni gathering either by class or region and/or publicize such activities through the Association website.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES:
Alumni are needed to serve our advisory board, plan events, serve as web masters and database managers. Not necessary to be a "local".

CONTACTS:
If you have questions or comments regarding the organization email potsdamcentralalumni@gmail.com

  2. I have recently designed a hat,long sleeve t-shirt and golf shirt to sell at the 1969/1970 Class Reunion. I have no intentions of making any money for them, so if any of the other class reunions would like to order items for their reunion, please let me know. Phil Demarest 1970, demarestCA@aol.com

    I'm also on Facebook if you would like to see some vintage photos of a few for former Stoners.

  3. Class of 1949

    It has been 60 years since we graduated. I am trying to update our class mailing list to see if anyone is interested in having a reunion. If not this year then next. I have contacted Diane Elliott Hansen and Spike Morgan for help in this endeavor. I would be delighted to hear comments from any of our classmates.

    I was wondering if the class of 1982 has ever had a reunion. I have not heard about one, but that doesn't mean anything, as I was traveling for our 15th and 20th. Do we have a chair for the class of 1982? Who is it? If you could let me know I would appreciate it. Go Stoners!
