BREAKING NEWS Endowment fund distributions
to begin!
The steering committee for the AAHS Class of 1970Endowment met on June 14, 2025. The purpose of the meeting was to begin distribution of funds to the AAHS Biomedical Science Pathway program.
The committee set a new goal of $50,000 (up from $35,000) based on additional donations and earnings. The committee decided that distributions would be made yearly using the interest generatedby the fund, allowing the principal to remain or grow. Additional donations will permit future distributions with increased values.
For the 2025-2026 school year the committee authorized $750 for program expenses and a $750 Scholarship. The details on the scholarship will bereleased when available.
The committee encourages the class to support this worthy project. It is interesting to note that the donations so far come from only 24 unique givers. No gift is too small.
