The mission of the York Community High School Alumni Association (YCHSAA) is to inform and connect alumni; support current students; and preserve York's history and traditions.

ALUMNI DOLLARS AT WORK

YCHSAA again provided support for York students and their families during The Holidays by donating $1800 in gift cards to local stores and establishments as part of the Duke the Halls program. This tradition is provides gift bags to financially challenged York students annually and is a collaboration between York Student Council and the community.
