[edit] Alumni website

THSAlumni.com is the unofficial 'free' website of Turlock High School alumni. It was first developed by Brent Bigler (Turlock High graduate 1986) and Jodi Jenkin (Turlock High graduate 1988) and currently boasts over 9000 members. Brent and Jodi hoped to enlist the help of fellow Turlock High School alumni in expanding the site to include news and information about THS, alumni events, support and scholarship opportunities, business networks, and the like. The site allows users to share updates, successes, and life events with friends, staff and faculty who shaped Turlock High School student lives in so many ways. The website has had immeasurable help from Dr. Craig Jenkin in digitizing over fifty years' worth of yearbook pages.
