"August Monthly Newletter"
A Special Thank You to Edgar Secrest, Cathy Adamov, and Our North High Alumni Community
I would like everyone to join me in thanking Edgar Secrest for his generous donation and support of our North High Alumni website.
Edgar and I have decided to each pay half for 10 more years of the website, ensuring that North High alumni will continue to have a place to stay connected, share memories, reconnect with old friends, and honor our classmates through 2036.
Although the website will remain available, I still plan to retire from managing and updating it on December 31, 2026. After many years of dedication, it is time for me to enjoy this next chapter of life and spend more time traveling with my beautiful bride, whom I married on July 3, 2026.
It has truly been an honor and an incredible journey building and maintaining this website since its beginning in 2006. What started as an idea became a place where classmates could reconnect, share memories, celebrate friendships, and keep the North High spirit alive.
I hope everyone will continue to use this site to find those long-lost friends and stay connected. Please also continue to visit the Memorial Page, as Cathy Adamov has announced that she will continue updating it to honor and remember our classmates. Please take the time to thank Cathy for her dedication, and I ask that you continue sending her any information or leads that will help keep our memories alive.
Thank you to everyone for your friendship, support, and for being part of this incredible journey. A very special thank you again to Edgar Secrest for helping make it possible for our North High Alumni community to remain connected for many years to come.
Thank you all for your support over the years.
Bill Gilcrist
