Countless hours have been dedicated to create the next several pages. In honor of our school's rich history, we
wanted to highlight some of the many former students and staff members who proudly call themselves Bulldogs.
In no way are these pages meant to serve as a complete and fully accurate history. Therefore, please excuse
us if we missed a name or fact. We sincerely apologize for any omissions. Our committee found it very difficult to gather
the information for this section: however, we all felt it very important to include them anyway. Unbeknownst to many of us,
there is no single location/database to pull information regarding military alumni, employees' years of service, and family re-
cords: therefore, what you find in these pages took hours of legwork by some very dedicated people. At this time, I would like
to recognize and thank Caroline Marlette, Clereen Brunty. Madonna Wise, and Anne Neukom for the hard work, dedication,
and support they have given to this endeavor. The following details the resources used to gather this information:
