        The Goshen High School Alumni Association is pleased to announce we will be presenting our Special Appreciation Award to Kerri Fitzsimmons Mantz at this year’s 121st alumni banquet. Kerri is a 1992 graduate of Goshen High School, former alumni scholarship recipient and a current school guidance counselor. In 2016, Kerri created and organized the Goshen Grads Give Back Project. This was started when a Goshen grad discovered a fellow classmate living homeless on the streets of Cincinnati. Kerri helped the homeless grad get some identification papers and health care but unfortunately, he passed away soon after. This compelled Kerri to organize a drive for gloves, hats, blankets and other clothing for the homeless. Sandwiches, snacks and drinks were packed in 100 care packages and delivered the next day to the homeless in Cincinnati. This project was repeated every year since 2016. This year, Kerri expanded the project to include the Clermont County Homeless Shelter. We are extremely proud of Kerri, the students, teachers and community volunteers who help collect, organize and deliver the packages to the needy in our community. Please keep alert for information about this worthy project next December if you would like to help or donate.

 

                 The Alumni Association is happy to announce that this year, Dr Frank Fender, Class of 1958; Eli Leisring, Class of 1995; and John Glancy, Class of 1917 will be inducted into the Goshen High School Alumni Hall of Fame.

Goshen High School Alumni Association Scholarships

         Last year, the GHS Alumni Association was honored to present ten Goshen High School seniors with $1000 scholarships. The deserving recipients were, Avery Amundson, Brooke Ashcraft, Christopher Chandler, Alyssa Chaney, Colton Geary, Logan Mantz, Alexis Payton, Allison Popp, Lyric Rains-Bury and Hannah Walker. There will be only eight scholarships for this year due to dwindling donations. Please consider donating any amount you can afford. Even small amounts allow us to give our grads a college opportunity. If every Goshen graduate donated just one dollar, it would fund two or three scholarships. PLEASE consider a donation this year. Donations can be sent to Goshen Alumni Association, P. O. Box 113, Goshen, Ohio 45122.
