RHS Alumni association to strengthen tradition

The Ridgewood community is pioneering a path to help support the district’s high school through an alumni association.
Last month, the ad-hoc group formalized itself by electing four officers and creating a board of trustees.
Their first official meeting on Sept. 30 was followed days later, on Oct. 2, with a dinner for alumni at Novo Restaurant.
Thomas Gorman, principal of RHS and a Class of ’87 graduate, said more than a dozen people attended the Sept. 30 meeting where Keith Dawkins was elected president, Jacqueline Hennessey (Class of ’87) was elected vice president, Steven Correll (Class of ’88) was elected treasurer, and Siobhan Winograd (Class of ’91) was elected secretary.
“On some level it was kind of a no-brainer for me [to be involved] in that I’m a RHS alum, my boys – I have an eighth-grader and a fifth-grader – will be RHS alum,” Dawkins said. “The school did a lot for me, and it’s going to do a lot for them.”
Dawkins said he envisions the association being a “powerful network that gives back into the Ridgewood ecosystem,” but short-term he’s excited about the “passion and enthusiasm” from the community.
“[Superintendent] Dr. [Daniel] Fishbein got an email from an alumnus who lives in China and he wants to not be left out,” Gorman said. “It’s growing. A lot of people who couldn’t make it [to the meeting] said, ‘I want to be involved. Get my name on the list’.”
