For Alumni

We serve our current students but would love to add links to connect our former students… AKA Alumni!  Please let the school know if your graduation class re-union website is missing – we’d be happy to add it.  E-mail me any content or to make changes.

One of our former students, Shannon Naylor Wolf, passed away recently from brain cancer. She graduated in 2007 and was one of many Naylor children that attended your school. She fought cancer with incredible tenacity while supporting many others in their healing journeys. Several people have shared how inspiring she was and what a great friend she was in general. In fact, someone wrote that she was their ‘protector’ in school. I know she exemplified the personal character that is promoted in Olympus High students.

When Shannon was first diagnosed, she was given approximately 12 months to live. She went on to fight cancer for six and a half years! Unfortunately, the experimental treatments that helped keep her alive were not covered by insurance. She leaves behind a husband and 3-year-old daughter. I have organized a fundraiser to support her family with expenses related to her memorial and medical bills.

Time is going by so quickly.  It’s hard to believe we have been the new building for few years already.  The NAHS group and I are going to use the display cabinets in the alumni room to display alumni memorabilia.  This was something that Mark Manning always wanted to do, but we have never had the time.  We are going to make the time and get started before the year is over, and hopefully have a nice display ready for next year.  That being said, if anyone has a object, picture, article, etc., that would be nice to display and relate to the history of the school please let japeterson1@graniteschools.org know.  We currently have some art, photos, newspapers, yearbooks, marching band uniforms, Jim gave me a gavel they once used for Senate meetings, and a few other things.  We would love to have things that relate to the historic moments of Olympus High.  We are starting next week and would like to have an idea of what we have before we start arranging things.   We will also take items at any time but the sooner the better.

We have started a Facebook group honoring George Barton, father of Ray Barton, who taught so many of us at Olympus (1953- 1981). He was a mentor as well as a teacher, and Mr. Barton inspired us all to reach our potentials in his classes, and we did just that, and we continued to do so throughout our lives. Please, if you were fortunate enough to be a student of George Barton’s, we would appreciate some comments, so that former classmates can reflect together on all the fond memories of our special times in his classes.
