DuPont High School Alumni Association

We hope your visit brings back pleasant memories of your years at DuPont High.

That time will soon be here again — time to greet old and new friends at our 32nd Annual Alumni Reunion, and we need you there to make it bigger and better than ever.
     If you were a student or teacher at DuPont High School in Old Hickory or DuPont Senior High in Hermitage, you are invited to attend this event.
     All alumni from the classes of 1929 to 1988 are invited. In fact, you don't need to have graduated from DuPont High — just attended. Come and invite your high school friends and classmates to join with you for a great time.
      As we receive reservations, an attendance list is updated so you can see who plans to attend.

Each month, we try to profile an alumnus/e who has been recommended by fellow classmates for his or her activities, accomplishments and/or contributions. If you have someone you would like to recommend, send us the information and why you think they should be "Alumni of the Month."

DuPont High School was organized in Old Hickory in 1926 as a two-year high school with three teachers and sixty-three pupils, and was housed in the DuPont Grammar School building. A third year was added in 1927 and a senior year in 1928. The first graduating class was the class of 1929. In 1930, a new high school building located at 2001 Hadley Avenue (now Old Hickory Blvd.) was constructed. In November 1967, the high school building was completely destroyed by fire. In the fall of 1969 a Senior High School, retaining the DuPont High name, was completed on Tyler Drive in Hermitage. Today, the Tyler school is a Middle School and the DuPont-Hadley Middle School is located at the original Hadley Avenue location.

The Alumni Association will honor three graduates who have “made their alma mater proud.” At the August reunion, the Distinguished Alumni Award will be presented to Shorty Lawson, Class of 1941; Dennis Bottorff, Class of 1962; and Edward Craig Williams, Class of 1980.
Also, the Association will to honor a faculty member who made special contributions to the success of DuPont High School. The Distinguished Faculty Award will be presented to Harvey Wayne English who taught at DuPont from 1973 to 1986.

Alumni support has made it possible to continue our scholarship awards program. This year, a $2,000 scholarship will be awarded to eight applicants who is a child, grandchild or great-grandchild of a DuPont High graduate.
