As part of the Amherst Central Alumni Foundation’s grant program, we help fund various programs to help create opportunities throughout the school district. The foundation will periodically receive material highlighting what one of our grants helped accomplish. One of the grants we funded was will allow Caroline Smith, junior at Amherst Central High School, to attend the Empire Girls State forum over the summer.

This is an article in the Buffalo News about Smith and the forum.

Through the generous support of Amherst Alumni, people like you helped make this happen.

Please consider donating to the Amherst Central Alumni Foundation.
