A New Alumni Center Trenton Public Schools proudly celebrated a special moment in our district’s history with the official dedication of the Donald N. Kolcheff Alumni Center . Located just beyond the north end zone of the Trenton High School football field, the former concession building has been transformed through private donations into a new gathering space for students, alumni, families, and members of the Trenton community. The Alumni Center was dedicated in honor of Mr. Donald N. Kolcheff , whose four decades of service to Trenton Public Schools left an enduring impact on generations of Trojans. Throughout his remarkable career, Mr. Kolcheff served our district as a mathematics teacher, football coach, administrator, and superintendent. Whether shaping minds in the classroom, developing character on the football field, or providing leadership to the district, his commitment to Trenton was unwavering. During the ceremony, members of the Kolcheff family joined district and community representatives for the unveiling of a commemorative plaque and the official naming of the Donald N. Kolcheff Alumni Center . The Alumni Center will provide a place where Trojans past and present can gather, reconnect, share memories, and celebrate the community that continues to bring us together. We are proud that Mr. Kolcheff’s name will now stand prominently on our campus, ensuring that future generations will know and remember a leader whose lifetime of service helped shape Trenton Public Schools. Thank you to Mr. William Allen (the primary donor/overseer of the project), Mr. Gregg Svitchan, Mr. Mark Lybrook, Mr. Jerry Brown, and a myriad of other alumni supporters. Additionally, thank you to French & Associates and McCarthy Smith for all of their long hours, support, and effort to make this project a success! Lastly, thank you to our TPS Technology Team - especially Ms. Pat Kujala, Mr. Bruce Kostrewa, and Ms. Jenny Coleman for going the extra extra mile. Thank you to our Facilities Team - Mr. Kevin Travis, Mr. Rodney Jankowski, Mr. Chris Livernois, and Mr. Ryan Clements for everything that they did to make this project special. A special thank you to Ms. Julie Drabczyk for doing all the legwork that needed to be done, as well as Mr. Mark Revesz for setting up the auditorium and Mr. Mark Revesz (Senior) for the great public address!
