I graduated in 1969, left 3 days after and never been back except for my Mom’s funeral. Don’t keep up with anyone, don’t do Facebook and have never been to a reunion. 367 in graduation class and no idea where any of them are.

Graduated in '02. I know one guy from my class died from a negligent discharge incident. Don't remember the details of it all.

Several people have dealt with drug addiction over the years, either meth or heroin. Some caught felony charges and did stints in prison.

On the more positive side we had some brave ones that went into the military right after and fought in Afghanistan and eventually invaded Iraq. Some made careers of it and are still in.

Very few are single without kids at this point.

I didn’t like them then so not sure why I would know much now. I have recognized a lot of names in the obituaries over the last 48 years so my guess is most are dead.

A very large percentage are highly successful professionals or business owners. It’s pretty remarkable.

Our valedictorian is a doctor at LSU, or somewhere in Baton Rouge. I'm from Virginia.
The rest of us were fortunate to find much better places to work.

I’m also 12 years removed with a class of 300+ but I only keep up with 5-6 people. The only time I hear about a classmate is when one unfortunately passes which has been quite a few...including my best friend

Nope. Just don't really care about a bunch of people that were only in our lives for a short while. Unlike a bunch of jocks on here, HS wasn't the highlight of our lives.


Depending on your school, those people were in your life for 3-13 years.

If you truly don't keep up with anyone from high school, it probably says alot more about you as a teen than anything else.

23 years removed. Smaller class. Lots and lots of kids have been born, and one is already a grandpa. There was one suicide which happened a long time ago. Other than that I think everyone else is still making shite. Don't really keep up with anyone anymore. I wish everyone well though, and hope they survive climate change!

I keep up with my two roommates from college. One is in the O&G business and earns a very nice living. Other is a computer nerd working for the Corps of Engineers. I’m probably somewhere in the middle earning a living as a medical professional.

I graduated with about 50. Probably 10% are still in jail, or have been for drug related crimes. 10-20% got a HS diploma and do their thing at $10-15/hr. 15-20% got their associate/vocational degree. The rest of us got Bachelor/Masters/Doctorate degree in everything from English, DPT, DDS, PhD, etc

No shite.

We never played in football while I was there (06), but we had several scrimmages and JV games with Rosemark.

Well let's see. My 50 year reunion is next year and I have only attended one of the former reunions when we were 10 years out and there were several who had died.

Nam was still a thing when I got out of HS. Yeah, I'm that old.....

Won't make the 50th since I just don't give a shite about HS stuff or people I haven't seen in almost half a century.

29 years out this May. Don’t know, don’t care what any of them are doing. As far as I know, only 1 has died and he was killed in a car wreck 5 months after we graduated.

Military, prison, and graveyard. At this point, the graveyard is gaining ground.
