Reunion 2012
6/10/2012
During the fall trimester, we host a reunion for alumni who graduated twenty-five or more years ago. They attend classes and assembly, cheer on teams, and enjoy dinner and speeches at the local Country Club. They are familiarizing themselves with a school they once knew, and which has evolved organically. The June reunion (which we held this Saturday) generally attracts folks between five and twenty-five years out. They return--often with young children in tow-- to connect and network, seeing teachers they knew, and have a ball.

The tour paused for a class photo.
