Through donations from individuals, businesses, civic organization and alumni, as well as through fundraising events, GEF raises money to support Innovative Teaching and Staff Grants, scholarships to GHS graduating seniors and other special events. GEF administers the Jess L. Taylor Community Scholarship Fund, as well as memorial scholarships established through the foundation.

GHS ALUMNI DIRECTORY
Information for the second Grandview High School Alumni Directory is now being complied.   Sarah Barrows, President of the Grandview Education Foundation, would like for alumni to know that requests for updated information are legitimate.

"We had heard about Harris Publishing at a national conference for public school district education foundations, so we vetted them before signing on.  In many schools, it is an alumni association that leads this task, but the Grandview Education Foundation took the initiative in sponsoring the project. Since this is our second directory with them, we are confident that Harris is a reputable company.  They do not market the directories to anyone other than the alumni, and no mailing lists or anything else are given out or sold.  We had LOTS of questions last time, and our project director listened to many concerns/suggestions/questions from our committee.  We were very pleased with the way he and others responded, as we were with the final product. If you would like to know more about the company, go to: www.harrisconnect.com   

If there are questions, contact Doug Harmon at dharmon@harrisconnect.com  or 800-735-8239  He was the project director last time as well, so he is  familiar with our high school.  To contact Harris directly to give them updated information, call 800-877-6554.
