October 2024
Dear Alumnus,
The new school year is underway. The Ox Roast and Alumni Night with all its reunions still glowing in our memories. It is a great reminder of the fantastic experiences we shared growing up in Grandview Heights. We were blessed with opportunities for education, recreation, and enduring friendships with our classmates.
This year presents new challenges and opportunities for the Grandview Heights High School Alumni Association as we expand and improve upon our mission to keep alumni connected and informed. We publish print and online versions of our newsletter three times a year and send them out to every alumnus for whom we have contact information. Please consider a donation to keep this tradition alive. We also provide college scholarship opportunities for current GHHS students. Alumni have always responded generously when we’ve asked for support and we’re asking again for contributions to help the GHHSAA continue its work.
More new Legacy Society scholarships were established for the 2024 school year. The
combination of scholarships awarded through GHHSAA, Legacy Society, and Brotherhood of Rooks totaled almost $37, 500 for 2025. Given the rising costs of a college education, it is important we strive to do even more in 2025. Your tax- deductible contributions to the GHHSAA make an significant difference.
There are two ways to pay your $40 yearly dues or contribute an additional donation. If you like the receiving the newsletter, please consider an additional $10 to defray the printing and mailing costs:
1. PayPal – Visit www.grandviewheightsalumni.com, click on “Join- Donate”, click on
“PayPal” and follow the instructions.
2. Check – Send in a check, payable to GHHSAA,

We look forward to hearing about the events in your lives and sharing them in the newsletter. Please provide your e-mail address so we can deliver newsletters to you faster and more efficiently. We appreciate those who donate annually and thank all graduates for being a part of our proud Grandview Alumni community. We hope to see you at a future Alumni event.

FROM ABBOT TO ZUHARS
With all graduates of GHHS in aphabetical order, Adam Abbot ‘03 begins the list, and it ends with David A. Zuhars ‘56.
Listed below are the last names that occur the most times, up to 10, among the graduates of GHHS.
Out of 9,696 graduates of GHHS from 1916 through 2021, nearly 1% have had the last name of Smith. The names that occur 10 times are a little over 0.1% of all graduates. Many of the names at the beginning of the list are your more common names, but may be true partially by the following statement. Most of the smaller numbers are accounted for through large families and extended family and/or many generations remaining in Grandview Heights through the years.
