263! 263! 263!
In September 2000, nearly 700 of us started Central as members of the 263rd graduating class. On June 16, 2004, at the Academy of Music, we last congregated together and with faculty with whom we cherished and revered, including the late Dr. Pavel, as well as Mrs. Kohn, Mr. Brooks, Ms. Johnson-Smith, Mr. Morrell, Mr. Harper, Ms. Grimes, Mr. Greco, Ms. Bakum, Ms. Evans, Mr. Sinnot, Mr. Leong, Dr. Hall, Mr. Hung, Ms. Hansbury, Rose, Mont, and many, many others.
Time has flown by, and it’s time to reconnect for our 20-year class reunion and reminisce about our unforgettable Lancer days!
This is a special occasion to celebrate where we’ve been, where we are, and where we’re headed.
Whether you were part of an athletic team, a musician or performer, a RoboLancer, North/South Lawn groupie, or simply made memories in the hallways, this reunion is for all of us to come together and catch up after ten years. We’ll end the night Crimson and Gold style and sing the school song as we laud to the sky that the 263rd class is the best class from Central High School!

Gifts of any dollar amount are appreciated to honor our alma mater and the 20th anniversary of our graduation from Central. It is time to give the future generation of Lancers the support alumni gave to us when we were in high school. You have the option of single or monthly commitments. Make a gift that is comfortable for you and your budget. Please share this opportunity with our classmates and encourage them to make a tax-deductible gift as well.
We hope to see you on November 23rd for our 20th reunion!
