SCHOLARSHIP AWARD WINNERS

MENG PAULSON, MIKE FAUNT, LEE ROSCH, JULIA STEIG

The 13th annual CCHSAA Scholarship Luncheon was held on May 21, 2009 at the Monarch Hotel with approximately 78 guests in attendance. Karen Genzer (63), co chair with Jean Miller (48), opened the event by thanking alumni and friends for the on-going contributions made to the CCHSAA Scholarship Fund. The contributions make it possible each year to award four deserving CHS students scholarships to defray the costs of further education. Congratulations to Mike Faunt (The Performing Arts Scholarship), meng Paulsen (The Walter J. Cooney Scholarship), Lee Rosch (The Communications Scholarship), and Julia Steig (The Don Mitchell Ironman Scholarship). Our best wishes for their continued success.

Congratulations are also in order for Julie Branford (63) who was presented with the President's Award for her hard work and dedication to the creation of the Commerce/Cleveland Distinguished Alumni Award (The "Order of the Feather").

Dorothy Praegner (40) is the recipient of the Commerce/Cleveland Scholarship Committee Award of Merit. She is to be congratulated for her long-term dedication and many contributions to the Scholarship Committee.

Thanks to all the alums and friends who attended the luncheon and to all the volunteers and donors who helped make this such a successful event.

Renaming our Hall of Fame in his honor is just recognition for this wonderful person who did so much for so many at Cleveland High. He is missed.

Nomination Form for CCHSAA Hall of Fame

If you would like to nominate a former CHS athlete (Commerce or Cleveland), please use the form here and send your nomination to CCHSAA at PO Box 82898, Portland, Oregon 97202.

Nomination Form for Distinguished Alumni

The Commerce-Cleveland Alumni Association Distinguished Alumni Citations known as the "Order of the Feather" were awarded for the first time at a ceremony at Waverly Country Club in January.

These awards are intended to highlight Commerce-Cleveland alums who have significant accomplishments in their chosen fields and who have become "beacons" for current students.

The award recipients are encouraged to visit Cleveland to share their experiences in classes related to their field of expertise. This sharing can truly enrich the students who will have tangible evidence of what is possible for them if they study and work hard while living an honorable life.

Nominations are accepted from alums as well as others who know and
can truly represent the nominee's credentials. A committee of Alumni Board members will make the final determination of the year's award recipients in March of each year. Up to three awards may be granted each year and the honorees will be invited to CHS and to a reception in their honor.

Click on the Historical Pictures link to read about this year's winners and more about the criteria for selection.

If you know of an alumni that you believe would merit consideration as a "distinguished alumni", please fill out both pages of the nomination form shown below and mail them to the Commerce-Cleveland Alumni Association at PO Box 82898-Portland, Oregon 97202

Fundraising Efforts Keeping Teams Afloat

The athletes not only have to be the best they can be at team practices and during games but they must also eagerly participate in fundraising for their team. Every sports team along with choir, band, cheerleading, and the dance team have multiple fundraisers each year.

Using the example above, the funds raised by the softball team are used to pay for new equipment, compensation for an assistant coach, team travel expenses, and a season ending team pizza party. Every two or three years each team is given new uniforms out of the $10,00.00 raised annually from the alumni sponsored golf tournament.


If any alumni would like to make a donation to a specific team or group just send your donation to Cleveland High School with the team’s name.

Mail to: CHS (team or group name)
3400 SE 26th Ave
Portland, OR. 97202

Checks payable to: CHS (team or group name)
