Alumni of Ohio high school create yearbook website

Written by Evan Blackwell, CJE

Keeping old high school memories alive and letting old friends track each other down has become something of a pet cause for Claude Fant of Hamilton, Ohio.

This article from the Hamilton Journal-News describes how Fant has been working for almost a decade now on the website hhsalumni.net, a membership site where people who went to Hamilton schools can keep in touch. As part of the project, Fant has scanned in photos from every Hamilton yearbook from 1915 to the present.

They’re all there – including every senior portrait. And the website now has more than 5,500 members. Does your school have a web community like this for alumni?
