Dear Gaucho Alumni We represent the El Cerrito High School Archiving Project,serving as the Gaucho Alumni Coordinators. Thisproject began in January 2005, when we learned that theschool district was going to demolish our original school,which opened in 1944. It has been our m ission to save artifacts for our Rotundaand Sports Hall of Fame Museums, as well as variousdisplay cases throughout the school. We also sponsor fundraisers for Senior Scholarships, publish an email newsletter toshare current alumni news, give tours of the school and announceupcoming class reunions. Here in our newsletter we list all of theclass contact persons. You w ill also find updates on the newsports complex baseball, football and track fields. Please help us update your class alumni representativeinformation below . Visit our Reunion Leader Site to see if yourleader is listed. Return any updated information to Mrs. Kathie (Nemy) Weinstein. We thank you for your help in this endeavor. For the Gaucho
