Background
Caroline Gose (1984-2004) graduated with honors from Alamo Heights High School in 2003. She was a member of the National Honor Society, the National Spanish Honor Society and an excellent student, but she will be remembered for so much more.
Caroline was a beautiful young lady, with a joyous and energetic love of life. Friends and family members regarded her as funny, warm, encouraging and inspirational. While at Alamo Heights, she showed her love for community service as President of Interact and involvement in Student Council, her comedic and dramatic flair in theater productions, and her creativity and love of writing with her work in journalism on The Olmos.
Caroline’s life was tragically cut short in an automobile accident, after transferring to the University of Texas from Furman University. She would be excited about the opportunity to fund initiatives spawned by the collaborations with faculty and students.
