Amid the challenges that 2020 brought, three local Garner Senior High School graduates organized an official alumni organization to bring support and camaraderie to their fellow Trojans, Garner High School Alumni Association, or GHAA.
“This organization is for graduates, rising graduates, those who have attended, and current and former employees of Garner Magnet High School, formerly known as Garner Senior High School,” said Toni LaTressa Wade, GHAA President.
“A beloved teacher passed away in 2020, and what began as a desire to begin a scholarship in their name has grown into a budding organization with the many talents of a very diverse group of graduating years, professional skill sets and a common desire to keep the spirit of the Garner Trojans alive in an official capacity,” said Rachel Kincaid, GHAA Secretary.
GHAA will be offering several virtual networking and social events in the beginning of 2021, with the goal of funding the first scholarship and eventually offering live, in-person events later into 2021. GHAA is building membership and local alumni business sponsors to fund the first scholarship and Trojan emergency fund.
