Hallsville Alumni Association
hallsville ISD alumni
celebrates five years
We are thrilled to celebrate our fifth year in existence! We currently have over 7,000
HISD alumni in our database...WOW! Bobcat Power! Our
Fifth Annual All-Class Homecoming Reunion was held on September 28, 2007. The evening began with a dinner
in the Hallsville High School Cafeteria, a brief program, and the recognition of Distinguished Alumni.
In an effort to truly make the Alumni Association successful,
we are encouraging classmates and their families to let us know their thoughts and suggestions and be sure to keep
us informed of class reunions and other happenings. We are encouraging Alumni to remember, as Alumni, it is our job to energize and re-energize our existing
and future Alumni. The Alumni Association should be the center around which all Alumni activities revolve; a sounding
board for ideas and concerns. This organization is the framework for ALL graduates to hang their hat, membership, involvement,
and support.
Getting involved is one of the easiest ways to give back to a place that helped form who
you are today!
