Letter from Gage Fellows

Hello Fellow Alumni, Faculty and Friends of GHS,

I am pleased to announce that the Foundation is starting its 30th year helping financially challenged students participate in academic and extracurricular programs offered by Golden High School. We support students in many GHS programs, including but not limited to, Music, Theater, Art, Debate, Athletics, Dance Team, AP Exams, Engineering Competitions and of course our two unique experiential education programs at GHS, Senior Seminar and Junior Rafting! Due to your generosity over the last several years, we have given well over $100,000.00 to students to participate in many programs at GHS as well as scholarships to Seniors to help them get started in college. Thank you for your support.

Our mission continues to assist as many students as possible. Please take a moment to send in your Tax-Deductible eligible donation. Donate via Venmo, credit card via PayPal on our website or by mailing in your donation check. Our board is all volunteer, so your money really helps the kids.

You may notice that this 2026 version of the President’s Letter is not signed by the legendary Bob Hayes. The man known as “Mr. Golden” passed away this past December. The world is a little less “Golden” without Bob, but I see his positive influence in so many students that have passed through GHS over the last six decades, seven decades if you count his own classmates. For me, I had the pleasure to know Bob first as my football coach sophomore year, then as my teacher senior year in Senior Seminar and later to know Bob as a colleague and true friend while serving on the GHSAF Board with Bob since 2011. Throughout, I have learned many valuable lessons from Bob. He was always a gifted teacher, a generous man. I, like you, will miss Bob Hayes. In Bob’s honor, we have created a new college scholarship to go to one GHS student a year, a four year college scholarship to support GHS students complete their higher education dream. If you wish to contribute to The Bob Hayes President’s Scholarship, please note such desire with your donation and it will be so exclusively purposed. Bob’s Celebration of Life is scheduled at Golden High School on June 19, 2026 at 2:00 PM. Join us and Bob’s Family if you can.

Please visit our website at GoldenHighAlumni.org to learn about the many Memorial Scholarships we provide, to which you can exclusively contribute, as well as the services we provide to connect you and your friends and classmates: Reunions, Alumni Directory, Replacement Yearbooks, etc...

Go Demons!!
