Letter from the President
Dear Fellow Fort Hamilton Alumni,
I hope this letter finds you well. As Joseph Estrella, Class of 1987, and your proud President of the Fort Hamilton Alumni Association, I'm thrilled to share some exciting updates and highlights from our vibrant community.
Our association has been incredibly active, and I'm delighted to share some of our recent accomplishments:
-
A Brand New Online Home: We've launched our fantastic new website, fthamalumni.com! It's designed to be a central hub for all things alumni, featuring event information, news, photo galleries, and easy ways to connect with fellow graduates. I encourage you to explore it and see all the great features.
-
Hall of Fame Wall Display: Get ready to be inspired! We're creating a new Hall of Fame Wall Display that will be prominently featured on the first floor of the school. This display will honor distinguished alumni and their remarkable achievements, showcasing the incredible talent and impact of Fort Hamilton graduates.
-
Scholarship Success: Thanks to your generous support, we were able to donate an impressive $2,500 in scholarship money to deserving students this year. This directly helps current Fort Hamilton students pursue their academic dreams, and it's a testament to the power of our collective giving.
-
Community Engagement: We're proud to continue our tradition of participating in local events, strengthening our ties with the community. You might have seen us at the lively Ragamuffin Parade and the bustling 3rd Ave Festival, connecting with neighbors and showcasing the spirit of Fort Hamilton.
-
Second Annual Alumni Softball Game: Our 2nd Annual Alumni Softball Game was a huge success! It was a day filled with friendly competition, laughter, and camaraderie as alumni from different generations came together on the field.
These achievements are a direct result of the dedication and support of our alumni. Whether you've attended an event, volunteered your time, or contributed financially, every bit makes a difference.
I invite you to visit our new website, mark your calendars for upcoming events, and consider how you can continue to be a part of the Fort Hamilton Alumni Association's exciting journey.
Sincerely,
Joseph Estrella, Class of 1987

WORDS FROM OUR ALUMNI
"Tigers show up. We are Brooklyn tough, hard as an 86th Street sidewalk on the outside, soft as a Carvel Sundae on the inside. Because, you see, we cut our teeth, we came of age in the 70s. It was a time of great turbulence, but also a time of unbelievable magic."

"I used to say that I couldn't believe that they were actually paying me to do this job. I loved coming in every day and looked forward to the start of each new school year".

Start now!!"
