Welcome to the Hudson Area Schools Alumni Page
On a sunny June day in 1982, my classmates and I donned our caps and gowns and walked across Thompson Field to accept our diplomas. It was a day I will never forget. I made a lot of memories in high school, and graduation day seemed to close the door to a life I had always known. But as our class motto stated, "What seems like the end is really just a new beginning," it wasn't that we were leaving our past behind, but using our experiences as a foundation to build our future.
In the years since graduation, a lot of changes have happened in our lives. Some of my classmates moved far away, others remained close to home. Some became parents and grandparents, others climbed career ladders. No matter where our lives took us, one thing has remained the same: We are all Tigers! That Tiger spirit has brought us back for class reunions where we reconnected with the "kids" we shared life with for 13 years, and became friends again.
The Hudson Area Schools Alumni page is here to help you reconnect with your school. Use this page as a source of information about alumni happenings and other alumni matters. Find out what's new at Hudson, and share your stories to inspire current Tigers. You have a lot to offer. You can make a difference.
As a Hudson Alum, your involvement is critical to our success. I welcome you to stay in touch, to reconnect, and to inspire.
Best Regards,
Nancy Jenkins-Arno
Director of Development and Alumni Affairs
Class of 1982

Press Box Fundraiser
Thompson Field, home of the mighty Hudson Tigers, was donated to the City of Hudson in 1921 by G.I. Thompson and his son William, and was later deeded to Hudson Area Schools by the City. From the Press Box that was built in 1964, announcers, coaches and members of the press have witnessed the exploits of the outstanding football teams that have defined Hudson’s legacy. Champions and leaders have emerged from this modest home field, and it’s time to rebuild the Press Box so that it reflects Hudson’s proud history.

The Current Condition
· Steep ladders are the only way to reach the second and third floors · Rotting floors, peeling roof tiles, exposed electric wires, and unstable railings make the current Press Box unsafe · Outdated bathrooms are not up-to-code |
The New Press Box
· Will feature only a slightly larger footprint to accommodate stairs and make the bathrooms compliant · Coaches will be able to watch games from inside |

Wave the Flag For Hudson High
"The story of Hudson High School's 72-game winning streak is like a work of fiction. Boys in a small, rural community, playing football for a young coach who is sculptured in the all-American boy mold; going undefeated for seven straight seasons and rarely losing a game in a decade; snatching victories from the grasp of defeat in the fourth quarter. That's the stuff boyhood daydreams are made of. That's the stuff reality was made of at Hudson, Michigan from 1966-1976. Not every athlete can have a Tom Saylor to coach them or a Hudson High School to play for, but every athlete and former athlete can touch this fabulous program by reading the story of how the Tigers accomplished their historic feat."
~Steve Owens, former Detroit Lions player, from the forward of Wave the Flag for Hudson High
In honor of the 50th anniversary of Hudson's historic winning streak, Wave the Flag for Hudson High was reproduced. Copies are available for purchase for $20.00 by sending a check to the Hudson Alumni Association, 550 E. Main St., Hudson, MI 49247.
