About the Shakopee Alumni Association

  • SAA

  • After careful consideration, like many organizations had to do, last Fall, the Shakopee Alumni Association made the difficult decision to postpone the 2020 Hall of Fame induction festivities. We wanted to hold off until a time when we could adequately honor the chosen individuals, and also make that important tie back to Shakopee High School. As pandemic concerns continued well beyond expected timelines, we have made the decision to hold off on accepting new nominations, and will NOT be selecting new inductees this year. 
     
    We will be honoring the inductees that were selected in 2020:
    • Distinguished Hall of Fame - Jim Perry
    • Athletic Hall of Fame - Amy Menke, Ashley Walker, and Lauren Hespenheide. 
     
    The nomination process for our 2022 Class will open in October 2021, and nominations will be accepted through May of 2022. 
     
    Thank you for your understanding. We're looking forward to a return to business as usual, but appreciate the support of our alumni and community at this unprecedented time.
  • The Shakopee Alumni Association, 501(c)(3) public charity managed by the community, operate as a voice for Shakopee alumni and friends and to focus on five key goals:
     
    1. Encourage a continuing relationship between alumni and the Shakopee School District
    2. Organize alumni activities and support class reunions
    3. Contribute human and financial resources to the Shakopee Public Schools
    4. Establish an Athletics and Activities Fund (AAF) to provide a permanent source of income to support athletics and activities in the Shakopee Public School District
    5. Establish a Fine Arts Fund (FAF) to provide a permanent source of income to support fine arts activities in the Shakopee Public School District

    Each year the Shakopee Alumni Association, in partnership with Shakopee Public Schools, will sponsor an annual event for the Shakopee Distinguished Alumni and Athletic Hall of Fames. Nominations for the Hall of Fame Class of 2020 were accepted until June 30, 2020.
