Proudly display the "graduated class" photo collection(s) prominently in the new Vashon Island High School building.
We, the undersigned, regard this matter as having significant historical and community importance. By signing this petition, I declare that "community without history" is intolerable. I stand firm and resolute in my commitment to this mission.
This instrument is represented with the good faith and trust of the signatory's; that VHS and VSD#402 will respond and act expeditiously, according to the public demand put forth.

Reaching this point has been an exhausting push but seeing the momentum grow confirms that our shared history still matters deeply to this town. I am running on fumes today yet it is clear that we are not the only ones who refuse to let these memories disappear behind closed doors.

It would be inexcusable to simply erase a lot of Vashon High School history by not displaying these class photos simply because there's a pretty, brand new school and -- let's be honest here -- a brand new principal who doesn't have much connection to VHS's past.
So many VHS graduates return as adults to live on the island and are now helping to pay the taxes that support our schools. Makes sense to me to honor them by keeping their class pictures displayed.
Please put the pictures of past graduating classes back up. It's our history. Why take that away for our small community? When I attended VHS I loved looking for my family members who have graduated from VHS. Kids who attend VHS love looking for their family members. My whole Buxton family graduated from there. Please keep the pictures and put them back up!
Not only the class photos but also the memorials removed from the grounds and currently sitting in a cage. As said by gerald march we need to know our history.
No pictures should be in storage..... why bother to take them if they can't be displayed and enjoyed? Just like trophys in the trophy case. Grads are proud of their time and their school and even if you go back every 10 years it is nice to physically view them.
Class of 1972
We need the class picture put back I have 4 of my children up there and one granddaughter Plus 2Brother and a sister too

The children there are some of the children or grand children of the past classes. I know I would love to see my fathers picture hanging in the hall!
