Deceased Grads

May They Forever Rest In Peace

Elder High School would like to make the names of all deceased graduates available to the entire Elder community. Through this webpage, names will be updated regularly of all grads who have passed away during the current calendar year.

Additionally, The Pride magazine will print the names of the recently deceased in each issue. Please use the links to the right to browse for alumni who have passed away prior to this calendar year.

Please continue to notify us with information about deceased graduates who are not listed on our website. We ask that you keep both the graduates and their families in your prayers.
