Wanted

Wanted - all Class members from the Class of 1969 at the Class Reunion August 9, 2019. RSVP by August 1, 2019.

Classmates, you should have received a letter of invitation, but some addresses are hard to track down. If yours didn't get to you, email for more details: rigby1969@gmail.com. (Bring or send your favorite memory and/or photo for the memory book which will be available post reunion.)

You are also invited to join in the class conversation by joining the Facebook group Rigby High School Class of 1969 50th Reunion.

And the True Trojan Scholarship awardees are...

True Trojan Scholarship recipients (r to l): Natalie NewMyer, Keleni Tui Tofa, Camry Woodhouse, Cody Jones,
Wyatt Taylor, Easton Martin, Hunter Abel, and Christina Wilson.
Presenters: Dean Mortimer and Garth Gunderson

Due to generous and kind contributions from members of the RHS Class of 1969, we were able to extend eight $1000 True Trojan Scholarships to well-deserving graduates of the RHS Class of 2019.  All awards were based on merit of character as reviewed through a collaborative effort of the reunion committee and school counselors; three of the recipients are direct descendants of the class of 1969. Senator Dean Mortimer (chairman of the Idaho Senate Education Committee) and Garth Gunderson (former chairman of the Jefferson School District 251 Board) give credence to the value of education as they present awards to the recipients during the Rigby High School Awards Night held May 20, 2019.

If you desire to take part of the "paying forward" class effort, donations are still being taken. All donations large or small are meaningful. See instructions on how to donate in previous post.

Rigby High School Class of 1969 True Trojan Scholarship

As a gift from our graduating class, Rigby High School Class of 1969 will offer five “True Trojan” scholarships. These scholarships will be awarded to students of RHS 2019 graduating class who exemplify outstanding personal characteristics such as: kindness, school spirit, sportsmanship, service, or tenacity in achieving success in spite of diversity.

Final selection of the scholarship recipients will be a joint effort between the RHS Class of 1969 50th Reunion Committee, Employees of Rigby High School and Representatives from the current Student Body.

If you would like a Rigby High School Graduating Senior (who is your direct descendant) to be considered for one of the scholarships, please invite the student to email the following information to rigby1969@gmail.com :

• His or Her Full Name

• Statement of 300 words or less telling how the student feels they have exemplified outstanding Trojan character.

Graduation is quickly approaching, so the application must be received by May 8, 2019.

A time to remember

The 45th Class Reunion was a great time, but we missed those of you who were not able to attend.

We hope you will start making plans now to join us in 2019 for our golden 50th celebration. 

Here are some video highlights. It starts with a fitting sober memorial to our classmates who have passed away. Then its party time in all its grandeur. Enjoy!
