East Rockaway High School Alumni Association

For those not yet familiar with our organization, let us introduce ourselves. In 1986, two sold-out performances were held in the auditorium using Entrance-type productions (with the cast of 300 alumni participants grouped by decades) to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Rock Rivalry. This monumental event brought alumni from the 30's through the 80's back to ERHS, some to perform and some to see their first Entrance since graduation, to celebrate the unique event that is Rock Rivalry. In response to that event, the Alumni Association was founded to renew and strengthen the bonds formed at ERHS, spending the last 20 years and well over $70,000 in funding scholarship & award programs for ERHS seniors and summer camp programs for elementary school students, and providing other aid as requested to help support the students of the ER School District.

Much effort has been spent to ensure your privacy when registering and participating on this website, which is open only to ERHS alumni.

No one will be able to enter the website without registering and setting up a login name and password.
Any information you provide here will be available to the Webmaster and Administrators only.
No alumni will be able to contact you via email through this site UNLESS you specifically allow this at registration.
Your mailing address will be kept for Association communication only and will not be available to anyone else for any reason.

Our 20th anniversary goal is that this site will provide a "virtual" East Rockaway High School, a place where classmates located all over the world can easily reconnect and reminisce.

Please register and help us build this website by participating in message boards, posting school day or reunion photos, providing reunion information, and helping us locate all missing alumni.
