About Us

What we’re all about

Vic High was founded in 1876, and is the oldest public high school west of Manitoba and north of San Francisco.

Members of the Vic High Alumni Association graduated from this very special place with great memories, great friendships and great hopes for the future. Now they show their appreciation by donating their time to support current students.

Our volunteers raise funds for scholarships and bursaries, school amenities, and connect alumni with Vic High and each other. Volunteers organize and support reunions and major events, and manage the Vic High Archives & Museum to preserve and share Vic High’s history .

All former Vic High students and current and former staff can belong to the Victoria High School Alumni Association. Membership is free, so if you went to Vic High, or if you work there now or did in the past, there’s no reason not to join!

We began…

1976 the Vic High Centennial multi-day celebrations ‘raised the Black & Gold’ and inspired alumni volunteers to start building the Association. We operate pursuant to our Constitution and Bylaws, both updated April 25, 2023, and under the authority of the BC Societies Act.
1989, 2008, 2014 and 2001 we hosted major milestone celebrations
2014, 2016, 2018 we hosted Black & Gold Dinners, inducting select alumni into the Black & Gold Honour Roll

Please note

Alumni meetings and activities generally follow the school year, so during the summer we operate at reduced capacity and volunteers may not check email accounts as frequently. If something is urgent, contact General Inquiries.

We rely on volunteers and donors

Our 9-person volunteer Board meets the 3rd Tuesday of every month, 4:30 – 6:00 PM at Vic High. Attendance is available via Zoom. Alumni are welcome to attend if pre-registered so membership can be verified and Zoom link sent out. Email General Inquiries to register.
