The History
Some eight years after their initial meeting in May 1991, the members of Scott’s Branch High School (SBHAA) Alumni in 1999 decided to make the Association a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (corporation), hence the SCOTTS BRANCH HIGH ALUMNI INC (Scott’s Branch High Alumni Association, Inc.) was formed and registered with the Secretary of State of South Carolina as a Charity.
The SCOTTS BRANCH HIGH ALUMNI INC
(Scott’s Branch High Alumni Association, Inc.) has continued its commitment to meet, share ideas, build, and sustain a viable organization to support Scott’s Branch High School and
the community. The successes of the organization uphold the motto adopted in 1991,“Working Together, We Can Make A Difference.”
