Class Reunions
The classes of 1958, 1961, 1963 and 1973 are planning their
reunions.
See the "Class Reunions" page for details. Event Calendar
Hello to all of you.
As most of you know, we have scheduled a golf tournament to be held in
conjunction with the Homecoming festivities at Central High School. The
tournament will be held at Bear Trace Golf Course on Saturday, October
12th with a 1:30 start time. UT does NOT play on that date for any of
you who may want this information. We need players, as many of you who
can to participate. But right now, I am requesting input from all of you
concerning what we should charge for specific fees. I am not a golfer so
I need your help. I want to get the brochure printed as soon as I can
but will include individual and team costs, hole sponsor charges,
mulligans, cart sponsors, and I'm sure other fees that we need to
publicize. We also need major sponsors (corporations, individuals, etc)
and need to establish amounts and what would be included for their
donation. A team, hole sponsor, etc. When we met with the golf pro,
suggestions of $100.00 per player, $250.00 or $275.00 to sponsor a hole
were mentioned. Do these seem reasonable? What other amounts would you
suggest? You can respond to me by email or call me. (H) 423-867-1690,
(C) 423-503-7413, or (W) 423-698-4899.
I want this to be a success as I know all of you do. But I need help,
suggestions, players, door prizes, sponsors, whatever any of you can do
to make this event run smoothly, encourage participants and MAKE
MONEY!!! The Alumni Association is in need of funds to support our
beloved Central High School. Just to mention a few projects - the
scholarship fund, special student, teacher and administration needs,
unexpected needs as identified by the principal, etc. Recently we were
able to assist a teacher with funds to take an ongoing educational class
to better equip her to teach the AP classes. The students in these
classes get college credits and are better prepared to be successful in
college. We want to be able to assist with these types of requests that
will absolutely impact the education of Central High School students.
All of you may not be golfers but I value your input. Ladies, if you
don't play, I bet your husbands and friends do. Gibby Gilbert, Central
graduate and former professional tour player, has agreed to work with us
on this tournament. I will be contacting other well known golfers in
this area to ask for their support. Any suggestions for names will be
appreciated. Feel free to forward his email to anyone who might be
interested in getting it.
Thank you, each and every one of you, for anything you can do to help
make this a successful and enjoyable tournament.

A golf tournament at Bear Trace has been scheduled for October 12, 2013. It is scheduled to coincide with Homecoming festivities at Central and UT has an open date on the 12th. Shotgun start is at 1:30 and I have been assured of perfect weather! So golfers and friends, please mark this date now and plan to support this endeavor by playing, sponsoring a hole, getting teams together, getting sponsors, donating prizes, working the day of the event or assisting in any way you can. The recently activated Alumni Association is badly in need of funds. Just a few of the goals of the Association are to support the twelve scholarships given each year to deserving Central students, support special student, teacher, and administration needs and others as identified by the principal. We also need members to support the efforts of the Association. This can be a very successful tournament but we need everyone's help. I will send out more details as they are worked out. Thank you for any assistance you can provide. Please feel free to call me at (H) 867-1690, (C) 503-7413 or (W) 698-4899. Judy Phillips

Hey Pounders!!! I just wanted to share with you some exciting news. We were able to secure a grant that provided funding from the Electric Power Board for camera, computer and video production equipment to actually host live broadcasts of athletic and ANY event that we want to show online. Our students have been working on this and we will actually host our annual Prom Fair tonight at 6pm on the website below. Another exciting part of this program is that we were able to up load some vintage video from previous games and even a May Day event. Click on the link below which will take you to the site and then click on Chattanooga Central High School. It will take you to our personalized site and you will see the uploaded videos at the bottom. Enjoy and share the good news. I watched several last night and had a great time. Go Pounders!!!! Sincerely,
Finley King, Principal Our monthly meetings are open to all alumni and supporters. |
Alumni, we need help! To keep the association up and running, we have got to start raising money right away. Not sure how it happened, but I have ended up chairing the committee to do this. I am asking anyone and everyone who is willing to share ideas, work, help in any capacity, brainstorm, contribute, whatever, to meet for a few minutes with me after the regular alumni meeting on Thursday, April the 11th. The regular meeting is at 6:00 in the school library and we can probably have a short meeting around 7:00 or 7:30. Please come and bring ideas. I need all the help I can get. You don't have to respond to this email, just show up. I know many of you have original and very good ideas to help us. We just need to hear them and make a plan! Thanks for supporting the association and I promise, no one will be asked to work (but you can volunteer) at this meeting. I just need your input so we can get started. Judy Phillips Very exciting to see the numbers growing on our new FACEBOOK page. YOUR Central Alumni Association has a lot in store for the upcoming year! Facebook will be one of our means of sharing our purple pride! Cool facts about the school, announcements about what is going on and most importantly connecting with friends old and new!!!
