Time for your reunion? Congratulations! We are here to help you plan your reunion.

Check out our Reunion Planning Worksheet Guide for more information on venue suggestions and planning recommendations.

In addition to providing you with your current class contact information, the school will pay for the printing and mailing of one invitation or postcard.

Send us your event details to add to the website and newsletters. The Alumni Association provides $200 seed money to get you started. In return the Alumni Association asks for two things:

  1. That your class provide us an updated class address, phone and email list, following your reunion.
  2. That someone from your class write an article about the reunion to be published in the Alumni Newsletter.
