Our first goal was to establish a Website solely dedicated to the support of interests of GHS Alumni and Friends.  Along with successfully completion of an operational Alumni website,  we've established: 
  a  Dragon e-Network for listing Alumni email addresses;
  twenty-two (22) Class Point of Contacts listed on the Class POC Page;
  a place for listing Alumni New/Events;  and,
  a Dragon Links page with online links to area newspapers, to include the Virginia Mountaineer.
  a web page for posting the Garden Alumni Meeting minutes. For 24 February 2007 meeting... Click
 
Our second goal is to obtain TMI documentation and a complete set of all GHS Annuals.  Subject documentation will be preserved for historical and reference purposes.  This effort also includes the possibility of converting hard copy documents to digital form for publication on the Internet.
  Currently, we've collected little TMI documentation, but we've made good progress relative to the Annuals. We've collected and digitized all Garden Echo Annuals (1943 to 2001). Due to time and server space issues, we have only posted 18 Annuals plus 1937 Class data.
  For the posted Annuals....Click.
  We hope that you will find this Website useful and informative. If you are a Garden Alumni or Friend, we encourage you to let us know who and where you are.  The lines in the background of our Website symbolize that we've settle all over the country.  Also, we want to provide a forum for Internet users to suggest improvements or additions to this Website. So, we sincerely encourage you to sent us you views and comments.  Thank you.
