Plans are being finalized for the 2006 Trenton High School Alumni celebration, scheduled this year for Sept. 1-3.
This website brought to you in part by the following sponsor:
Peggy Ausmus, who served as librarian in the Trenton R-9 School District for 16 years, has been chosen by the THS Class of 1981 as their honoree. Mrs. Ausmus, who resides in Trenton with her husband, Bill, retired as the THS librarian in 1996, then spent time as an elementary school librarian at Chula as well as interim director of the Grundy County-Jewett Norris Library. The Ausmuses are the parents of two daughters, Tracy Utley and Dr. Jamie Hooyman, both of Trenton.
