The Village of Rutland is the proud home of four community organizations. The Village understands the importance of active community organizations and their impact on Village residents, visitors and businesses, and thus encourages residents, neighboring residents, businesses and other organizations to partner among one another and develop additional organizations aimed at meeting the needs of the community.

Alumni Association

The Rutland High School Alumni Association is comprised of the graduating classes of Rutland High School, which conferred its last diplomas to the Class of 1967.
