It is with a heavy heart that we share the news of the passing of Michael Verbout, Alumni Association President. Mike passed away
peacefully on February 16th, surrounded by his family.
We have much to say about Mike's legacy and impact on our community, but for now, we are taking time to grieve, remember, and
celebrate him. In the recent days, we have seen an incredible outpouring of support from his classmates, former students, neighbors,
fellow volunteers, and the community at large. Mike truly was special to so many.
The Verbout family invites you to join us in celebrating his life on Friday, February 27th at 1:00pm at the Moore Street Corps
Salvation Army.
We hope there will be a tremendous turnout for a tremendous man. Please help us share this message.
People from every walk of life have strode the halls of
Roosevelt High School, located in the St. Johns neighborhood of Portland, Oregon. Our shared
educational experience draws us together, regardless of where our
lives have gone after graduation.
There are no 'typical' alumni. We're volunteers, we're blue-collar workers, we're in the
medical and legal fields, we're involved in business, industry and
with non-profits. We're stay-at-home parents, we're educators, we're
in government, we're in the military -- and that's just the tip of
the iceberg!
We've graduated and moved on with our lives -- but our school is
still an important, vibrant part of the community where we were
educated. And our school needs our support!
There are many ways to be involved. Your participation is both welcome and
encouraged. Your skills and knowledge are needed.
Joining the Roosevelt High School Alumni Association gives you a chance to
reconnect with Roosevelt friends -- and to make new friends! It
gives you the opportunity to actively engage in projects, to
socialize, to brainstorm for the future and to have FUN doing it!
