Many of our students are food insecure.
We know how important it is to have healthy meals so they can learn and be at their best. We are fortunate to have many generous alumni and community members that help to support our mission.
The Alumni Association manages, funds, and stocks the Wildcat Food Den. This room is filled with shelf stable items, frozen and refrigerated meals, fresh produce and personal care items. We are open 2:20-3:20 every Tuesday and Friday. The students can come in to grocery shop, FOR FREE, and take food home for themselves and their families.
Healthy, well fed, students are better equipped to learn, to thrive, to be kind, and to be happy. Feed the kids, better the community.

Scholarships
Each year WHSAA awards several scholarships to deserving seniors at the Senior Awards Ceremony. In addition, we help administer private scholarships setup by individual WHSAA members.
100% of the funding of all the scholarships awarded to students come directly from donations of Waggener alumni.
If you would like to donate specifically to scholarships, please designate that on the standard Donation form, and if you’re curious about setting up a private scholarship, please reach out.
Data supports the principle that recognized individuals continue to succeed throughout future endeavors.

The Brickyard
The Brickyard is a meaningful symbol of support for Waggener – powerful evidence that former students continue to cherish their high school and have made a financial commitment to that end.
The Brickyard stretches from the Veteran’s Memorial back toward the stadium entrance – a beautiful boulevard of WHS support.
To have your own brick in the Brickyard, fill out this form.
Hall of Fame
The Waggener Hall of Fame (HOF) was created to recognize and celebrate notable students who have walked the same halls as every other Alumni Member and have achieved significant successes in their post-Waggener lives, or achieved that significant accomplishment while a student.
Each year (roughly) new members are inducted and they are recognized at a dinner celebration that everyone is invited to.
Mentors
A mentor can change a student’s life.
Whether it is introducing a Senior to different career options foreign to that student’s world or helping a shy ESL Freshman get more comfortable speaking with adults, a mentor experience can alter their trajectory.
We have many options for Alumni that want to spend a little time with a student during the school day.
Alumni Support
Our mission is to ‘engage alumni’ – and we do that in many ways.
From helping classmates stay connected, plan Reunions, to maintaining the collections and archives in the Alumni Room – we want to support your needs as a proud Waggener Alum any way possible.
