About this Event
Join us for our 40th high school reunion — a modern-day swagger. Don your finest robes or gowns, lace up those royal kicks, and prepare to dance through the decades as we celebrate friendship, memories, and the legacy of our legendary class.
Whether you ruled the halls or snuck through them unnoticed, this enchanted evening is your royal invitation to reconnect, reminisce, and revel like it’s 1985.
Long live the Class of ’85!
Important Note:
This royal gathering is exclusively for the Class of 1985 — but fear not! If your king, queen, or noble companion (be it a spouse, significant other, boyfriend, or girlfriend) hails from another class, they are most welcome to attend as your honored guest.
