Planning a Reunion

Thank you for taking on the exciting task of organizing your high school reunion! We’re here to support you every step of the way to ensure your event is a success. Here’s how our Alumni Office can assist:

 

  • Connect with Classmates: We can help you find others in your class who are interested in joining the planning committee.
  • Class List: Obtain an updated class list with contact details.
  • Event Promotion: We’ll promote your reunion on our website, send out one postcard to classmates, and assist with email communications.
  • School Tour: Arrange a tour of Concordia Lutheran High School.
  • CLHS Update: Schedule a staff member to provide an update about the school at your reunion.
  • Venue Reservations: Book our Worship Conference Center or Auditorium for a class worship service, if desired.

 

We hope your reunion brings classmates together to reconnect and reminisce. Concordia is committed to fostering Christ-centered lives, and we hope you cherish the memories of your time here.
