Class of 1968
Alumni Liaison
Volume 7 | Number 2
Welcome to Rise, the voice of Grand Island Senior High alumni and friends. We show up every other month in over 7,000 in-boxes bringing you news, views, and memories of GISH. Rise is published by the Grand Island Public Schools Foundation.
Here’s a hint as to what’s inside: 2022 already has some new things happening at Senior High. Our student reporter Jackie Ruiz-Rodriguez details two big ones in her “On the Island” dispatch.
As an important funding raising effort, Go Big Give, nears, Annual Giving Coordinator, Alicia Lechner, writes on what you need to know to be part of making your alma mater and community strong.
As usual we’ll remember Islanders who have passed recently, hear from a couple letter writers, catch up on all the news from the Foundation, see who has reached milestones, and read the musings of Mike Monk, Class of 1967, Abbey Kutlas-Prickett, Class of 2014, Bianca Ayala, Class of 2005, and yours truly.
Enjoy. Keep in touch. And remember: Keep pushing on.
