The Louisiana High School Alumni and Friends Association was organized to support the students and staff of LHS financially and morally.  The Association was designated as a 501c3 organization in June 2008.  This designation qualifies us to receive tax-deductible bequests, devises, transfers or gifts from donors and supporters.

 PRESS RELEASE

JULY 11, 2020

LHS Alumni Association All-School Reunion Cancelled

The Louisiana High School Alumni and Friends Association has canceled their annual All-School Reunion events planned for October 3, 2020. 

The Alumni Association’s reunion events have been held in conjunction with Louisiana’s Colorfest for about 10 years.  After learning last week Colorfest was being canceled, the Alumni Association’s board members began discussing different scenarios from having it as usual with no changes to canceling it altogether.

The board had been monitoring the situation with COVID-19 and, after much consideration, decided to cancel the social, dinner and dance.  Though Pike County, Missouri has not been affected with COVID-19 as badly as other parts of Missouri and the United States, it was understood some attendees would travel from and return to locations in multiple states.  The unanimous board vote was made to protect the well-being of our alumni, families and friends.

Any questions or comments may be submitted to Michael “Mike”  Pratt (LHS Class of ’70) at LHSAlumniLouisianaMO@gmail.com

Memorial Scholarship Fund

A Scholarship Committee was formed to accept-tax deductible donations and contributions that will be used to fund scholarships for LHS graduating Seniors. 

Donations may be made as a memorial as well.  The committee will see that a note of recognition is sent to the family of the deceased.  Contributions can be mailed to the Association's Post Office Box (see below) or contribution envelopes have been made available at several area funeral homes.  Or for convenience click on USE PAYPAL at left!

The committee has developed a scholarship application that will be provided to seniors each spring.  The scholarships are need-based and will be awarded upon proof of enrollment.  The amount of the awards will be based on the fund balance each year.

Email the scholarship chairman for more information:

 MEMBERSHIP

In October, 2014 at the Association’s annual meeting, members voted on a few changes to our by-laws. One approved change makes all who attended Louisiana schools automatic members of the Louisiana Alumni & Friends Association. The same holds true for those who have served the district as administrators, teachers, or support staff in Louisiana, even if for only one year.

Another change added a financial support system to replace annual and lifetime membership dues. The details of this financial support system were approved by our planning committee in late May. This now is part of our Standing Rules (items which may change periodically so are placed here rather than in the by-laws to avoid having to ask the membership for a by-law change as often). It reads as follows:

FINANCIAL SUPPORT SYSTEM
In lieu of annual dues, each member of the Association is asked to make a regular, tax-free donation as their situation permits. These donations will help provide on-going operating funds to cover the cost of regular expenses such as printing and mailing our alumni newsletter, web site maintenance, and special purchases of materials, services, and/or equipment made to enhance the Louisiana R-II School District and to, in turn, benefit its students.

See Page 3 of the 2018 LHS Alumni Newsletter for more details.
