Alumni Association

A Special Request to Alumni

To continue the tradition of education in the Louisa High School-Louisa Grade School, two of our upstairs classrooms are being put into service again for learning. When we were students here, we learned English, writing, science and math, while today’s students will learn lessons in painting, drawing, photography and other art lessons.

We all have fond memories of “graduating” to the upstairs classrooms. The naming right for the classrooms is $60,000. We would like to name one of the 2nd floor classrooms the Louisa High School – Louisa Grade School Alumni Room. Would you please help reach this goal by sending in a contribution with the enclosed form today? All donations are needed and appreciated, no matter the amount.

As stated in our principals and goals, the Louisa Arts Center believes that the study of the arts should be a part of the education of every one. The thinking skills required to interpret art lead to improved academic performance in all subjects for students and are helpful in learning other disciplines. The Louisa Arts Center will provide art courses for students to develop skills in viewing and creating art; develop critical-thinking and analytical skills, and gain confidence in their abilities. Our goal is to provide outlets for creativity, stimulating and inspiring individual expression. Art education courses are for all ages and levels of experience.

One of our challenges was met! The late Sambo Johnson challenged the alumni to match a $5,000 gift to the Capital Fund. The challenge was met resulting in a $10,000 gift to the arts center. Since then the alumni have been generous in giving.

Martha McIntire has issued another challenge to alumni to give the amount equal to their year of graduation by remembering her cousin, Pallison Broaddus Hanger, Class President of 1933. A gift in the amount of $1,933 will be available to the art center when another gift in the same category is made. Ask your classmates to join together to answer a challenge or to make a challenge. All challenges and news will be posted on our website. Keep it checked out!

All contributions from Alumni will be honored in a special and creative way throughout the classroom. Your suggestions of ways to accomplish this are greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Shelby Millholland, 7th grade Alumni Class of 1955
