The primary mission of our Alumni Association is to provide scholarships to deserving graduates of Wells High School as they pursue their college education. Rather than charging membership dues, we rely on the generosity of our members to supplement our fundraising efforts.

Donations of any amount are always welcome. Checks can be made payable to "Wells High School Alumni Association" and mailed to the address at left. WHSAA is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization dedicated to providing scholarships for WHS alumni. Donations are tax-deductible to the full extent of the law.

Wells High School alumni have held many reunions throughout the years since the first class graduated in 1903. At a reunion of a group of graduates from the 1940s, the suggestion was made to form an alumni association to raise money for scholarships. A group of alumni met in 1998 and made ambitious plans to contact as many other WHS alumni as possible, collect pledges and gifts, and present the first set of scholarships in 2003 as part of the 350th Anniversary of the Town of Wells.

In 1999 the alumni association was incorporated as a non-profit 501(c)3 organization. By-laws were prepared and the first Annual Meeting was held on April 8, 2000, with Joyce Hutchins elected as the group's first president. The first newsletter was sent out to everyone on the mailing list in October 2000. Since then, two or three newsletters have been published each year. And true to its original plan, the alumni association presented the first scholarships to four members of the Class of 2003. Scholarships have been awarded every year since then.
