Tempe High School opened its doors for the first time in September 1908 and has been in continuous operation since 1907. During the 2007-08 school year, we celebrated Tempe High’s 100th anniversary, beginning with our Centennial Homecoming Celebration.
The Buffalo Foundation was established in late 2006, and has become the prime alumni organization for Tempe High School. It helps preserve the proud traditions and history of Tempe High and can serve as an alumni resource for reunions and fundraising events.
The Foundation’s mission is to support student activities and educational goals, and to provide financial assistance to Tempe High students and staff which will enable students and student groups to participate in academic and extra-curricular activities when other funding is not available.
The Buffalo Foundation Board of Directors is currently made up of members who are teachers, administrators and Alumni. Anyone wishing to make a donation to the Buffalo Foundation, should contact Buffalo Foundation, Inc., P.O. BOX 27405, Tempe, Arizona 85285.
The Board of Directors welcomes any suggestions for celebration activities or fundraisers. In addition, the Historical Committee is searching for old annuals, photographs, newspaper and other memorabilia, particularly clothing, which could be used for our archives. Please contact Sue Enright, with the Historical Committee for details about donating items.
