- We've established the BSAA-BHS Alumni Hall of Fame to honor classmates who have made outstanding contributions to their professions and communities, and who value the impact of their Brighton educations on their successes.
Nominations are open for the third year of the BSAA's BHS Alumni Hall of Fame. For nomination criteria and forms, information about 2008 events related to the BSAA-BHS Alumni Hall of Fame, and details of the 2006 and 2007 honorees and events, just click here.
- The BSAA-BHS Alumni Hall of Fame has been featured in the school district's Brighton News newsletter, Brighton-Pittsford Post, "Our Towns" section of the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle, alumni and district websites, and BHS principal's column in the Baronet newsletter.
- Courtyard Beautification Project:
We're working with BHS students on plans and a formal proposal to beautify a courtyard at BHS. Watch this space for news! Alumni and their friends, families, teachers and colleagues now may purchase bricks and benches that will be central to the design of the courtyard. Just click here for details.
- We've been holding delightful annual all-years alumni picnics since 2003. Mark your calendar for the fourth Thursday of July and plan to join friends and classmates from any and all years of BHS classes. Unless announced otherwise, the Annual All-Alumni Picnic is at Hazelwood Lodge in Ellison Park.
- If you can't attendthe BSAA's monthly meetings in person, you can "tune in" to webcasts - just click on the BSAA Webcasts button at the home page.
- We've created an amazing Alumni Resource Center at the 12 Corners Elementary School building as a resource for reunion planning and a repository for historical material about Brighton schools. Click on the link above to see what's there already. If you're planning a BHS reunion, please consider holding your committee meetings in the Alumni Resource Center or dropping by to see what other reunions have involved! If you have mementos of your years at a Brighton school that you would like to donate, click on the link above for more information.
- For the past three years, BSAA has worked with the Student Council to sponsor a Coming Home Concert during the BHS Homecoming Weekend. This year (2007), several BSAA members also marched in the Homecoming Parade.
- We donated a new, state-of-the-art electronic marquee, now operational on the lawn of Brighton High School, funded primarily through reunion contributions.
- The BSAA has recognized classmates who have died in war,
by commissioning memorials for those killed in Korea, Vietnam,
the Gulf War and Iraq, and restoring the plaques honoring alumni who died in WWII.
- We support a variety of efforts to
improve and beautify the high school, such as landscaping, replacing front
doors, providing new flagpoles, cleaning the entry brass, and renovating the Winton Road entrance to
the building.
- We provide support for your reunion events and planning. Be sure to contact us when you start planning your class reunion, whether it's your first or your fiftieth!
All BSAA projects offer wonderful
opportunities for reuniting classes to help improve and support their high-school alma mater. Each project usually has a coordinator along with a
description of the project. Completed projects also have photo sections at this website.
BSAA is a 501(c)(3) charitable
organization; contributions are tax-deductible under the IRS code. Donations in support of BSAA programs may be sent to BSAA, 2035 Monroe
Avenue, Rochester, NY 14618.
