El Paso High School Alumni Association
The history of the EPHS Alumni Association goes back to 1885 when one of our first graduates, Kate Moore, started attending what was then known as Central School. Ms. Moore would graduate in 1887 and would eventually start and become the first president of the Alumni Association. We believe our mission is still the same as it was 80 years ago when Ms. Moore started this group; to preserve and protect the history and traditions of the El Paso High School by working with the school to foster loyalty among alumni and continuing support of various school activities.
