Entertainment Update for Saturday evening, June 6th:

Get ready for a night of pure nostalgia!!

Tommy Terrell, aka DJTT, and member of local favorite 3 Hour Tour, is bringing the ultimate throwback party to our reunion! With an unbeatable mix of classic hits from the 70’s, 80’s and beyond, he delivers everything from guitar driven anthems to sing along favorites that will have the dance floor packed and the memories flowing.

Huge shoutout to our classmate Michael Poovey for making this happen- we appreciate you!!

ATTENTION ALL DHS GRADUATES!

We are having a combined class reunion (30 classes: 60's, 70's, 80's) on Oct. 4 @ Ingall's Harbor Pavillion in Decatur, 7-10 PM.
The purpose is to gather and share memories but also to raise money for our "alumni scholarship" program.
We are planning a fun event "with a purpose." The smaller event in 2022 was a blast, so come on out and pass the word!

Wit all of this social distancing we have had to do. Thought it might be a good idea to have an overdue reunion since we missed the 30th. Anyone have thoughts on this either, negative or positive?
