The Foundation’s focus has evolved over recent years and it is fitting the name change to the Davis High School Alumni Association reflects that. The Association’s mission is to effectively communicate with alumni, teachers, administrators, friends and supporters of DHS, to serve as a clearinghouse for alumni information, to continue to host the Davis High School Hall of Fame, to preserve the history and traditions of DHS and advance pride in the school’s heritage and finally to fundraise if necessary to support DHS programs and facilities. The next Hall of Fame ceremony, which is held every other year, will be postponed until 2022.
