Dear Torrey Pines Alumnus,

In May 2005, many of you responded to an alumni survey we administered to gather information on how the TPHS Alumni Association could move forward to help alumni stay connected to Torrey Pines, foster communication among alumni, and provide an opportunity for alumni to give back to the school. Below is the compilation of the 75 responses we received. Knowing that we want you to be a part of developing the Alumni Association, we would appreciate your participation to begin implementing any of these high priority items you have identified. Please email the Alumni Chair or contact the Foundation office for more information on how you can help. Thank you for your involvement!
