Welcome to the Richmond High School Alumni Association

The Richmond High School Alumni Association (RHSAA) is the third oldest in the nation. We began in 1871 with a dinner for the second graduating class. In 1995 the association established a permanent office.

The RHSAA office is located in historic Richmond High School. We walk the same halls that you did and the same halls that students use today. This gives us a presence to the current staff, student body, and community.

Scholarships

The RHSAA scholarship program began in 1995. Since 2000, the association has provided nearly $1,000,000 in scholarships. Scholarships are for RHS graduates who attend college in Wayne County, Indiana. (IU East, Ivy Tech, Purdue Polytechnic and Earlham College.)

Connections

We maintain a database of over 30,000 alumni, which provides us with current information to help with class reunion planning and other events.

Distinguished Alumni Award

The RHSAA presents an annual award to a Richmond High School graduate for significant contributions to profession, community, and/or alma mater.  We are currently accepting nominations for our 2025-26 award.

2024-25 Distinguished Alumni recipient, Mr. Rick Ahaus (class of 1960)
