Welcome to the new website of the Port Townsend High School Alumni Association!
The proud tradition of Port Townsend High School dates back to 1891, when our very first class graduated. Just six years later, in 1897, six visionary young women from that graduating class came together to form what would become one of the oldest continuously meeting high school alumni associations in the nation.
Since then, the PTHS Alumni Association has gathered nearly every year to celebrate the shared experiences of generations of graduates. Our signature event, the PTHS Alumni Banquet, is held the second weekend of June (this year on June 14th) and offers an opportunity for alumni from all classes to reconnect, reminisce, and make new memories. Click here to download the dinner-order and dues form. That same weekend, also on June 14th, we also host the Alumni Golf Tournament at Camas Prairie Park in PT, a fundraiser that supports our scholarship program. You don’t have to be an alum to play—everyone is welcome to join in for a fun day on the course, all for a great cause! Click here for the signup form. Beyond reunions and social gatherings, the Alumni Association is deeply committed to supporting current and future graduates. In 2024 alone, we proudly awarded $18,000 in scholarships to deserving PTHS seniors. Annual dues of just $25 help fund these scholarships and sustain the important work we do. Additionally, the PTHS Alumni Hall of Fame (HOF), a subcommittee of the Alumni Association, honors exceptional alumni who have made lasting contributions in their fields and communities; including Sports, Music, Arts & Letters. We just inducted our inaugural HOF Class of 2025 on April 12th View Hall Of Fame Page and will be getting our nomination form ready for our next round of inductees a bit later in the year. Since scholarship funds cannot be used for Hall of Fame expenses, we actively seek donations to celebrate our common shared history on distinguished lives. Click here for the donation form. You can order our alumni apparel at our merch store for fundraising. We have Alumni and HOF branded apparel for sale with a new logo. View Marketplace Come say hello! We’ll have a booth at the JeffCo Fair from August 8–10—we’d love to meet you and share more about how you can get involved. We’re also looking for volunteers to help host the Alumni Room during home games in the Bruce Blevins Gym throughout the fall and winter sports seasons. This special space features our Hall of Fame display and a trophy case showcasing awards of excellence—a proud tribute to PTHS history and achievement. Remember that you don't have to have graduated from PTHS to join the Alumni Association. If you ever attended PTHS at all, we welcome you to join! |
