SHSAA Annual Meeting and Alumni Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony
Join us Saturday, June 5, 2021 at 11 a.m. (EDT) on Zoom
We wish we could all gather at Shortridge in Caleb Mills Hall for our annual meeting and the ceremony to induct new members into the Shortridge High School Alumni Hall of Fame, but that’s just not possible yet.
We are doing the next best thing and having the meeting and ceremony virtually on Zoom. (See instructions below.)
The good news:
1) You can join us from anywhere! No matter where you live, no matter where in the world you are, you can be part of the meeting and celebration.
2) No problems with travel, transportation, parking or walking.
3) You don’t have to dress up, because you will not be seen on screen. Be comfortable.
4) Current SHSAA members can vote on the SHSAA officers and the budget.
5) You’ll hear an update on how Shortridge teachers and students have persevered in a pandemic.
6) You’ll learn about the 2021 SHSAA scholarship recipients.
We hope to be back together in person in June 2022.
