Last Year, after a 2 year COVID hiatus, We Returned!  New and Improved!

For 26 years we have gathered at the San Mateo Elks’ Club on the first Saturday in December, first as Olde Knights (The Olde Knights’ Luncheon), next as Olde and Mid-Knights (The Hillsdale HS Alumni Luncheon), and in the time of COVID, after being freed by Zoom from the physical limitations of the Elks’ Club, we invited the Young Knights to join us. Now returning to the Elks’ Club, we honored that precedent and again invited ALL ALUMKNIGHTS to our traditional yearly event, renamed as The AlumKnight Bruncheon. This encouraged an earlier reconnection with all who share the common bond of our high school years at Hillsdale. Go Knights!

Generous donations from Hillsdale Alumni have made it possible for the HHS Alumni Association to fund annual $2,000 scholarships to honor Keith and Cecile, Homer Zugelder, and Rich Mazzoncini in addition to projects identified by Hillsdale to support current Hillsdale Knights.  Photos of our 2023 Alumni Scholarship Recipients are posted below.
