YCHSAA PROVIDES SUPPORT FOR YORK STUDENTS
   DURING THE HOLDAYS

The Alumni Association  again boosted the York's Duke the Halls Program by donating $1200 in McDonalds and Jewel gift cards as well as bags that were used to contain additional collected donations  from student council and the community. This tradition provides gift bags to financially challenged York students annually.
