Celebration

The 50th Class reunion on Friday, September 27, 2024 will be a comfy-dressy-casual supper and dance at Ambiance Cuisine, a downtown supper club flanked by the BMO Center and the Hilton Embassy Suites Hotel. After 6-7:00 p.m. welcome and socializing, our alumni will be treated to a delicious buffet.

Our entertainment for the night will be a curated selection of popular 1970s and 1980s music. Our featured entertainer is local soft jazz musician Evon Sams. Evon will perform during supper and for dancing afterward. Evon’s music may be sampled from his website: https://evonjsamsmusic.com/music.

High school photos or recent headshot upload

Click or drag files to this area to upload. You can upload up to 10 files.

Please list who is in the photo, the event, and approximate year in the title. Include the file suffix (.jpg, .png, .tif). If you can’t tell who’s in the photo at arm’s length, it won’t be good enough quality to be online or print. A flat scanner at 300dpi at 200% is best or careful cell phone photos are ok. Please don’t send yearbook photos.
