Alumni

Join the Goodwin Gold Society

The Goodwin Gold Society honors Whitfield alumni who demonstrate unwavering commitment through five or more consecutive years of giving. Named in memory of longtime faculty member Lola Goodwin and in tribute to her son, Rickey Goodwin, this society celebrates the spirit of consistent generosity that strengthens our school across generations. 

Lola Goodwin was one of Whitfield's earliest and longest-serving employees, helping shape the culture of care and inclusion that still defines our school. Rickey Goodwin, a beloved member of today's staff, continues her legacy by welcoming students each day with the warm greeting: "Welcome to the family." 

Strengthening the Whitfield Legacy: Every gift-no matter the size-builds upon the legacy of those who shaped Whitfield's past. Just as Rickey and Lola Goodwin dedicated their lives to welcoming and nurturing generations of students, members of the Goodwin Gold Society ensure that spirit lives on in every classroom discussion, creative performance, and athletic victory. 

How to Join: 

• Make a gift for five or more consecutive years 

• Commit now to give annually for the next five years 

• Graduating seniors can join through the "Leave Your Mark" Campaign 

How to Give: 

• Make your recurring gift online here

• Choose Monthly, Quarterly, or Annually 

Join. Give. Belong. Stand with fellow alumni who believe in giving back- and investing in Whitfield's future. 

Take the Challenge. We want to add 100 new alumni to our giving community this year. What number will you be? Will you go for Goodwin Gold?
