Ruston High School Alumni Association

Our History

The creation of the Ruston High School Alumni Association was initiated by Mrs. Paula Pardue, Senior Guidance Counselor at Ruston High School. Her vision was for a method to furnish additional scholarships for graduating RHS seniors to attend college.

When a group of RHS alumni approached Mr. Kenny Henderson, RHS Principal, and Mrs. Pardue about establishing a memorial for teachers through the alumni association, it was discovered that with her other duties, Mrs. Pardue was over dedicated with school duties and the association.

At that point the group agreed with Mr. Henderson to re-organize the association into a Non-Profit Corporation. This was completed in April, 2004. Mrs. Pardue, being an RHS Alumni and an RHS Faculty member, was appointed the task of coordinating business between the school and association.

An initial start-up committee made up of Ruston High School alumni established the ground work for the creation of the Ruston High School Alumni Association. These committee members were:

Mirian Pipes Savage	Mary Allen Belton	Helen Knotts Shrell
Patricia Reese Edwards	Ann KcKee Boyd	Joe Richardson
Marvin McBride	Glen Neaville	Charles Buck Stewart
Charles Jimerson	Fredric Hoogland	Joyce Mathewes Sutton
Willie Green	Jessie Boyd Frazier	Jane Fuller Ball
