Who are we?
In August of 2000 a six member Steering Committee comprised of Washburn Rural graduates formally addressed the Auburn-Washburn  Board of Education.  After having spent the previous year researching the possibility of forming an organization to unite Washburn Rural graduates, the Board of Education unanimously agreed to designate the Washburn Rural High School Alumni Association Inc, as the official Alumni Association for WRHS.
