This tab will be used exclusively to list and post Harrison High School alumni events and trips, so we encourage you to log in frequently. If you have any upcoming alumni activities that you would like us to post, please send your information to harrison_Colorado@yahoo.com and we will be happy to post it for you!
Can you help??
As Alumni, we are interested in the needs of Harrison and invite staff and students to keep us updated.
Recently Coach Hogan has vocalized a need – for a tuff shed (that will then be modified by the carpenter shop). The cost is $5,800. The shed would be used to store the pole vault and high jump pit.
Can you help, if you can please click on the donate button on the front page and we will make certain that Coach Hogan gets your donation. If you like you can also send a check directly to Harrison, Attention: Athletic Dept. Tuff Shed
Also remember for every Harrison High School Pioneer and Alumni book that is sold, $1.00 goes to the Athletic Dept.
Do you know of any other needs at Harrison? If so, let us know so we can post it.
"FROM THE ICE CREAM CAPITAL OF THE WORLD (LE MARS, IOWA), THE SPORTSWRITER SALUTES THE HARRISON HIGH SCHOOL PANTHERS ... IT SURE WAS FUN READING ABOUT YOU IN TEILA'S BOOK! MAY THE PANTHERS BE ON THE PROWL FOR VICTORIES THIS SCHOOL YEAR!!!! Could you also send us some warm weather??? We're expecting 5-10 inches of snow this week!!! Signed - Jerry Giese sportswriter for the Sioux City Journal
The book, Harrison High School Pioneers and Alumni is now available on Amazon.com
Also available on Kindle Books for only $4.00
This book promotes a positive school spirit and sheds light on the school's history, going back to the late 1800's extending up to present day.
It's a fun historical record of the students, the eras, the school and the city of Colorado Springs, Colorado. Who knew there was a ghost who haunts the school gym and that the surrounding area was once home to the Ute Indians. But, even better than that, you'll meet some of the students that once roamed the halls at Harrison, including "Oppie", a self-professed James Dean sort of guy. Athletes Ron Roehrich and Oren McClure will share their stories and tales from their adventures both on and off the field at Harrison High. And Pat Smith, the young girl who loved school, sets the stage with some whimsical memories from her experiences at that ol' High School that she'll forever remember.
A book that anyone who has ever gone to high school will enjoy! This book is an accumulation of research material gathered from the local library, school yearbooks, newspaper clippings and from personal interviews with those who've attended the school.
It's will take you on a trip down memory lane and the author also includes a few blank memories pages inside so that you can jot down your favorite memories to perserve for years to come. A fabulous book that is easy to read and will provide some wonderful HHS history.

May 2010 MINI REUNION
Back row: Tony Aragon, Betty Velvick, Juan Collazo, Charlie Cash, Debbie Steines.
Fron row: Kathy Offineer, Linda Comer, Shirley Newby, and Elizabeth Vargo
A New Vice President for the HHS Alumni Committee
The HHS Alumni Committee has some recent changes. Darrin Sevilla our Vice President, who has been with us since the beginning back in August 2008, has recently resigned.
Darrin brought with him a lot of enthusiasm and creativity to the group. He was a valuable asset to the committee and although he has resigned as VP, he still intends on staying a part of the HHS Alumni but on a much smaller scale. The committee wishes to thank Darrin for all his hard work, tears, sweat and laughter; he is one of a kind, a wonderful guy! Darrin brought a “kick back” fun attitude to the committee and we are sorry to see him go but extremely grateful for the time he was able to provide us with. We have enormous respect for Darrin.
Taking his place will be Mike McGee a graduate from the class of 1982 and a native of Colorado Springs. As many of you know he was our entertainment director for the 2009 “All Year Reunion”. Mike has been in the Dist #2 area since 3rd grade where he attended PP Elementary, 4th grade at Centennial and 5th & 6th at Gilberson. He attended Panorama Jr High before attending and graduating Harrison High School in “1982”.
After high school, he enlisted in the US Air Force and became an air traffic controller. He spent his first tour at Aviano Air Base, in Italy before finishing up at Luke AFB in Arizona. Mike attended the FAA (federal aviation administration) Academy in 1989 and spent the first 8.5 years as a civilian air traffic controller in Southern California before transferring back to Colorado Springs in 1997 where he still works traffic today. Mike has attended all his class reunions and was responsible for pulling together their 20th and 25th reunions.
Mike will wear multiple hats during the next three to four years as part of the HHS Alumni committee, he will head up our non-profit sub committee, get the scholarship committee off the ground and running and last but not least he will remain active on our entertainment committee.
Please welcome in Mike McGee and send a memo off to Darrin and let him know how much you appreciated him!
Sincerely,
Michael Wilson, President
Connie King, Treasurer

At the end of the school year for 2010, the Class of The Class of ’57 is donated $1000 to the athletic department at Harrison and Class of ’57 member Ron Roehrich is matching that donation with personal funds.
The HHS Athletic department is taking the money and remodeling it's athletic training room. The total cost of the project is approximately $4,100.
Here is our opportunity to help out our ol' High School, if there is anyone who would like to donate to this special project, it would be appreciated.
Our hats off to the Class of 1957 and Ron Roehrich for this wonderful gift!
