The Great Huntsville High School Reunion: in photos

By Arts, Culture and Entertainment, Photos

It was a decades show like no other. At The Great Huntsville High School Reunion, there were former students and teachers representing the 1940s through the 1990s.

The Huntsville High School (HHS) gym was full of chatter as old classmates reconnected and reminisced at the afternoon meet and greet. There were displays of class photos and yearbooks, legacy hoodies for sale, and a performance by Soul 45 a group of HHS alumni and former Song Project members.

Following the meet and greet, attendees could purchase tickets for a dinner and dance at the Legion.

The event was organized in just a few months time by a small group of volunteers who decided that Canada’s sesquicentennial would be the ideal opportunity to bring as many alumni and former teachers together as possible.

    Thank you Dwight, it was tough at times but when I saw the results it was all worth it.
    I thank the many that came because without all of you, no matter how much you plan there would be no reunion.
