Who We Are & What We Do
The Waxahachie Alumni Association - celebrating 64 years !
Established in 1961, the Waxahachie-Students Association continues to be the liaison between alumni and Waxahachie ISD. Get involved today with a membership, t-shirt purchase, nominations and sponsorship of awards, and promotion of our numerous scholarship programs. There's no better way to show your support for the Green and White! community-building events, and in-depth training sessions for our volunteers.
Our History
In 1960, Cecil Burton had the idea to put together an alumni organization that would enable Waxahachie alumni to reunite with classmates and revisit the old school days with each other during Homecoming weekend. Burton contacted a few of his friends, Bill and Charleene Pitts, Lillian Neal and George Brown about this idea. Through their combined efforts to maintain ties with their fellow graduates, promote school traditions and pride in the community, they gave birth to this new organization in 1961. Since then, the Waxahachie Alumni / Ex-Students' Association has had over 43 presidents, and has given thousands of dollars in scholarships.

A MESSAGE FROM ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT
Waxahachie alumni -
2025 is going to be a GREAT year for the your Alumni Association.
This past fall, my graduating Class of '84 celebrated our 40th Reunion. So much has changed in Waxahachie over the past 40 years, but one thing remains the same - TRADITION.
Congratulations to all our 2024 Who’s Who and Hall of Fame honorees that were honored this past year.
We are looking forward to honoring 2025 WISD graduating seniors this spring. As in years' past, we plan on awarding scholarships for the Alumni Association, the Athletic Hall of Fame, the Fine Arts Hall of Fame and the Brent Winn Memorial Scholarship, which was started by Steve and Rebecca Wright (Class of ’73). The Waxahachie Alumni scholarship fund continues to be in good health and a huge THANK YOU to all who donate to this worthy event.
