It’s time to renew old friendships and catch up on where life has taken you!

Our next Multi Year Reunion will take place in 2028 – date/venue to be determined. If this is a milestone year for your class – consider joining in on this celebration.

Thanks to the success of the class reunion and alumni dues support, we were able to increase the amount of our scholarship from $500 to $1000 to $1500.

The recipient of the 2017 award went to Peter Sileo, grandson of Peter and Alice Gomez Sileo.

The 2018 award was given to Jessica Nimmo daughter of Christine Bourke Nimmo and the late Brian Nimmo.

The 2019 award was given to Lauren Sileo granddaughter of Peter and Alice Gomez Sileo.

The criteria for the scholarship submission is “What growing up in the community has meant to me” and “What influence has the family member alumnus of Washingtonville had on me.”  The selection process is anonymous with only the president knowing who the candidates are.  Each essay is read out loud by the president and the committee votes on a sliding scale.  Also included in the submission is the student’s GPA, their community service and their letters of recommendations from guidance and faculty.  In 2018 there were 11 applicants.  In 2019 there were 7 applicants.

The 2020 Scholarship Award went to Ryan Sliwinski.

In 2021, it was decided to award two scholarships: the recipients were Samantha Soehnlein and Kaitlyn Heins.

Derek Leiter was the recipient of the 2022 Scholarship Award. His plan is to attend SUNY Delhi to achieve a AAS degree in welding.

The 2023 recipient was Avery Kane. Avery was accepted at SUNY Cortland and planned to study Biomedical Science.

The 2024 scholarship recipient was ANDREW HEINS. Andrew will be attending SUNY Brockport to study Business Administration. He is the son of Kim Leyden, Class of 1993.

There were no applicants for 2025

The 2026 scholarship recipient was ALLY BUHLER. Ally will be attending Mt. St. Mary College in Newburgh as a Nursing student. Ally is the daughter of alumnus, Lynn Roberts, Class of 1989.

After the 2010 Multi Year Reunion, the Alumni Association was organized and incorporated as a 501 c3 Not for Profit entity .  The profit realized from the reunion was the seed money to establish the Washingtonville Alumni Association Scholarship.  The scholarship is awarded to a Washingtonville graduate who has attended the school from grade 6 through 12.  To be eligible the student must be a child or grandchild of a Washingtonville High School graduate and accepted to any two/four year college or trade school.  The candidate  submits an essay choosing between two topics – “What growing up in the community has meant to me” or “What influence has the family member alumni of Washingtonville had on me.”  A copy of the college acceptance letter and two faculty recommendations are also required.  The selection of the awardee is a blind process by the members of the alumni board.

The scholarship has been sustained by the generosity of Washingtonville Alumni via dues paid either yearly – $10 or $25 for three years.

Payment for dues can be made to the Washingtonville Alumni Association c/o PAUL MEORE 143 Toleman Road Washingtonville NY 10992.  Please be sure to put your grad year on your check.  Dues are tax deductible.
