AlumKnight Bruncheon
SAVE THE DATE! We’ll be celebrating the 30th Anniversary of this annual event on Saturday, December 5, 2026. Look for registration information later this summer!
For 29 years, we have been gathering at the San Mateo Elks’ Club on the first Saturday in December to reconnect with classmates and teachers from our HHS years. What began as the Olde Knights Luncheon has gone through different iterations thorough the years to become the AlumKnight Bruncheon and is now open to ALL Hillsdale grads.
To qualify for attendance, 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.
Each year, in conjunction with the annual gathering, alumni have the opportunity to donate to the Keith and Cecile Gordon Memorial Fund. Generous donations from Hillsdale alumni at the event 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 funding projects identified by Hillsdale to support current Hillsdale Knights.

Hillsdale High School Hall of Fame
The Hillsdale Hall of Fame, established in 2015, recognizes outstanding members of the Hillsdale High School community who have through their performance, conduct, and achievement, brought credit and honor to themselves and Hillsdale High School. Their public example will hopefully inspire current and future students to perform and serve in the same spirit.
Nomination forms will be available soon for our next group of honorees.
See below to view past recipients of the Hall of Fame honor and to see photos of past Hall of Fame events.
