We Are The Bombers...The Mighty, Mighty Bombers!
Fellow Bombers and Friends,
The Crestwood High School Alumni Association, Inc. (CHSAA, INC.), comprising the alumni of Douglass Park, Norfolk County, and Crestwood High Schools, was established to “Tell Our Own Story” along with preserving our rich legacy. We believe that it is our responsibility to enlighten our children, their children, and others about our schools, and the dedicated staff that prepared us to meet the challenges of a very difficult time in the world. It is extremely important that the CHSAA, Inc. continue to enhance the legacy of the significant contributions and support to communities, schools and families that were started and embedded into us by our families and staff.
