Assoc. Keeps Alumni in Touch

In 1969, the Cooperstown Alumni Association was created. This organization allows students to maintain relations beyond high school, enabling them to stay in contact and help each other post-graduation.

Many CCS graduates go on to do incredible things, which the association recognizes. The organization also assists in creating vital networking opportunities for CCS alumni.

The group not only helps to maintain contacts—it also offers a yearly scholarship.

“The CCS Alumni Association is pleased to award two $1,500.00 one-time scholarships to graduating seniors each year, which are made possible through donations to our scholarship fund,” said CCS graduate Chad Welch.

These scholarships are extremely valued within the Cooperstown Central School District.

The association hopes to form further connections beyond graduation, helping to encourage class reunions, share alumni accomplishments and spread the sad news of alumni who have passed away.

The alumni association also plays a very active role in the ongoing events at the school.

“We make posts almost daily about all kinds of academic and extracurricular events happening at CCS. The association uses our social media pages to celebrate the accomplishments and successes of our alumni,” Welch said. “We have a proud alumni and school community following who enjoy staying connected with our alma mater.”
