55 Year Reunion Announcement!

We hope that you will be happy to read that your reunion committee, made up of members from the same three high schools that have banded together since the 40th to share resources, has rallied to begin preparations for our 55th. The dates are September 6th and 7th, 2024.

Venues have been booked: Friday nights ever popular gathering at the Beach House; and Saturdays social and dinner in the striking ballroom of the Decatur Club. Details for the full weekend will follow in the new year.

Four years have flown by, and we all know how fast the next twelve months will pass. Please make plans to join us; to revisit, to reconnect. As someone from the committee said, "Let's do another one now, while we can; for the future is promised to no one."
 


Reunion Weekend: June 14 & 15, 2019

Updated: July 17, 2019

Well...that was fun; and so much more. Since I could not possibly capture in words what the weekend meant to many, I will stop there; but please feel welcome to share your own thoughts. Certainly hope everyone is home safe and sound and looking back with a smile on your face.

Thank you Reunion Committee and all those who volunteered to pitch in. Your effort was obvious and so very much appreciated.

The photos taken by Carla Stewart are now available. The class picture is free, while the candid shots may be purchased for a small fee. To download SDHS class photo, go to: carlastewartphotography.pixieset.com

Our class photo will be in the album with our school's name. To download, click on the album, go to the photo and click on the 3 dots on the upper right corner of the image. You will need to download the print release if you plan to print the photo. Each class member who attended the reunion will get 1 FREE group photo from their High School to download.

There will be an additional album titled "All City Wide Reunion" that will contain all other photos from the evening. Prints and/or digital downloads of individual candid shots can be purchased directly from the on-line gallery.

Any questions or assistance. You can contact Carla Stewart at [email protected] or 217-521-6763

With best wishes, until we meet again...
