DEEDS....NOT WORDS
Our Alma Mater
History
The Holmwood Technical High School Alumni Association NY, Inc., was founded in 1986, on the principle of unity in staying together, to give back to our Alma Mater. This has guided the NY Chapter’s progress and conduct throughout the past 35 years. The NY Chapter, a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization, is managed by an elected Executive Committee in accordance with the terms of a Constitution adopted by the members of the Chapter.
The NY Chapter’s ethos is driven by a strong sense of togetherness, motivated by an unwavering passion for our Alma Mater. We have demonstrated the necessary discipline to carry out the core of this value by fostering an environment of understanding, trust, respect and fairness to each member. We operate in accordance with democratic ideals, giving every member the opportunity to contribute in whichever way he or she elects. We seek to continue to operate under these guiding principles as we encourage the participation of other past students in the New York tri-state area. Information on becoming active can be found on the New Member Page.
For the past two decades and more, the NY Chapter has provided support for the school in a number of areas including, but not limited to; lunch program, assistance with operations of the girls’ dormitory, school uniforms, Information Technology program, academic and the Athletic program. These contributions have enabled the school to maintain its high standard of performance.
The NY Chapter meets at 6:00 p.m. on the third Saturday of every month at: 2233 Baylis Avenue, Elmont, NY 11003, or as otherwise designated.
