Greenville Industrial – Eppes High Alumni Association (GIEHAA) was created as a nonprofit corporation on June 24, 1980. The corporation’s purpose was to rekindle ideals instilled by the faculties of the former Greenville Industrial and Eppes High Schools through:
- scholarships
- fostering interest in social economic, educational, and cultural conditions in the communities where chapters were established.
Six chapters (Washington, DC; New York, NY; Hampton Roads, VA; Baltimore, MD; Greenville, NC; New Haven, CT) were organized. The GIEHAA was granted 501(c)(10) status by the IRS.
On September23, 2000 the Greenville Industrial – Eppes High Schools Alumni Heritage Society was formed to:
- foster interest in historic and heritage preservation
- collect, archive, and display the history of the school, faculty, students, school life,
- enhance appearance of the C. M. Eppes Cultural Center,
- strengthen and initiate fund development strategies for scholarship disbursement,
- assess the acquisition of a facility and
- monitor and distribute scholarships annually to youth.
The Heritage Society was incorporated as a nonprofit on January 22, 2001 and granted 501 (c) (3) tax exempt status by the IRS in 2002.
