Foundation Welcomes Graduating Seniors to Alumni Status

For several years, the Will Rogers High School Community Foundation has proudly gifted graduating seniors with an alumni T-shirt, recognizing their accomplishment of earning a high school diploma and welcoming them into the special community of people who proudly call themselves Will Rogers alumni.

One of the Foundation’s purposes is to keep alumni connected to one another and to their alma mater. The friendships and bonds formed during the high school years are valuable and can become the foundation for lifelong connections.

Students receive their alumni T-shirt on the same day they pick up their caps and gowns. It is not uncommon for students to put on their shirts before they even leave the room—often surrounded by alumni who graduated from Will Rogers decades earlier.

Will Rogers High School is rich in traditions, and this is a meaningful tradition that connects generations. It gives graduating seniors a tangible reminder that, once they walk across the stage, they become part of the proud and enduring legacy of Will Rogers alumni.
