Digital copies are $35 and are now available for the 1980s to purchase.  The 1960s, 1970s, and 1996 are also available.

Why only these years? We will release more yearbooks for digital purchase in the coming months. We are producing them by decades. A notice will be emailed to alumni when additional digital copies are available.

The digital yearbooks are placed on a flash drive. They can be mailed or picked up in the alumni office at the high school.

All proceeds benefit the Amherst Central Alumni Foundation, Inc. and the programs we administer in the district. The foundation is an independent 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization supporting the Amherst Central School District.

Last week, Stone Art Memorial completed work on the Amherst Central School’s Veterans Memorial. The memorial is located by the flag pole in front of Amherst Central High School. Thank you to everyone who donated to the Amherst Central Alumni Foundation to help fund the memorial. Also, thank you to Greg Pigeon, ACHS Principal, Tony Panella, District Superintendent, and Mark Rampado and the Amherst facilities and grounds crew, for helping the foundation coordinate the project.

A very special thank you to Lindsay Wolfe ’77 of the Amherst Central Alumni Foundation Board who worked hard to make the Veterans Memorial a reality. Here is a quote from Lindsay on the memorial, “For years to come, many will pass by and be reminded of the importance of those who served, are serving and will serve in our armed forces to maintain our freedom.”

The Alumni Foundation is planning a dedication, stay tuned for details.
