Mission The mission of the York Community High School Alumni Association (YCHSAA) is to serve and support the school and its alumni by fostering and enhancing communication and camaraderie among alumni; maintaining a strong relationship between the school and its alumni; preserving, promoting, and celebrating the history, traditions, and memories of York; and contributing to the growth and welfare of York and its students.

YCHSAA Provides Support For York Students During The Holidays: The Alumni Association  again boosted the York's Duke the Halls Program by donating $1200 in McDonalds and Jewel gift cards as well as bags that were used to contain additional collected donations  from student council and the community. This tradition provides gift bags to financially challenged York students annually.
