The Estacada Community Foundation has initiated plans to establish an Estacada High School alumni association to mark the 100th anniversary of the first graduating class in 1910. The purpose of the alumni association is to encourage ongoing alumni interest and support for the pursuit of educational excellence at EHS. Proposed plans include developing a searchable database of alumni, archives, history (centennial book), and website. For more information, contact the Estacada Community Foundation at 503-630-4483 or visit www.ecf1.org.

Engraved bricks for sale to support Veterans Memorial

Engraved bricks are available for purchase to support the Estacada Veterans Memorial and help build a wall honoring local veterans. Order forms are available at Estacada True Value, Estacada City Hall, and Viewpoint Restaurant and Grocery. The bricks are $50 each.

Mayor Becky Arnold was first to support the memorial. “I think the Estacada Veterans Memorial is a great asset to the city," Arnold said. “I’m proud to have my daughter’s name up there, along with other Estacada-area veterans.”
