Greetings Knight Alumni,

Click here to register for this year’s 27th annual Hillsdale AlumKnight Bruncheon!

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 are honoring that precedent and again inviting ALL ALUMKNIGHTS to our traditional yearly event, renamed as The AlumKnight Bruncheon. This encourages an earlier reconnection with all who share the common bond of our high school years at Hillsdale. Go Knights!

To qualify for the bruncheon, you must have graduated from Hillsdale High School. Teachers and staff members are also included. Spouses or significant others are not included unless they too attended HHS. This is not a typical high school reunion. You will be able to visit with friends on either side of your class, meet new friends, and chat with some of your former teachers. To ensure yourself a place at the bruncheon, Register Now. Due to a change of room availability at the Elk’s we are limited to 200 guests.

And while you are registering, please consider also making a donation to the Keith and Cecile Gordon Memorial Fund. 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.  Our goal for this year is to raise $15,000.
