Welcome to the website for the
Sequoia High School Alumni Association, Redwood City, California

The Sequoia High School Alumni Association was founded in 1985 with an eye to the upcoming celebration of Sequoia’s Centennial in 1995. Since then, SHSAA has accomplished many special projects to support and enhance Sequoia High School, our latest to erect a bronze statue of Cherokee scholar Sequoyah. We've also assembled a History of Sequoia High School.

Mission Statement

To maintain positive and productive relationships among present and former students, faculty, and staff; To promote and support Sequoia’s traditions of excellence in education and community service.

Sequoyah Statue Please join us as we seek to erect a bronze statue here at Sequoia High School of Cherokee scholar, Sequoyah, by donating to the Sequoyah Statue fund. The statue will be a smaller scale near replica of the pictured statue entitled “Sequoyah the Gift” that resides at Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. See details about the Sequoyah Statue project. And, read Sequoyah's fascinating biography about how this extraordinary individual accomplished a feat, which no other person in history has done single-handedly, by developing a writing system known as the Cherokee Syllabary. Tax deductible donations may be sent to SHSAA, P. O. Box 2534, Redwood City, CA 94064-2534 indicating Sequoyah Statue fund on the memo line or you can donate on-line via PayPal.
