ABOUT US

​​

What happens when you combine the BEST of the BEST? You get the ULTIMATE Success!! 

 

In 2001, most of us graduated with 100+ ppl and left high school life behind us. However, our 10/15 year reunions attendance were lower than anticipated. This is when we decided to combine forces and do an all school '01 reunion.  Our 20 Year All Class Reunion was a success, so we're spinning the block for our 25th!

We are the Reunion Committee representing six proud high schools of Gary, Indiana: Horace Mann, Emerson, West Side, Roosevelt, Wirt, and Lew Wallace. Though we once cheered from opposite sides of the field and wore different school colors, we all share a common bond — the Class of 2001.

Yes, the rivalries were real — the pep rallies, the game-day chants, from the fields to the courts, & the pride in our mascots. Let's not forget the great Drill Team competitions! But today, we stand together, united by time, experience, and the memories that shaped us. Six schools, one unforgettable class, and one monumental celebration.

As we mark 25 years since graduation, our mission is simple: to reconnect, reminisce, and rejoice. This milestone is more than a celebration; it's a homecoming. A chance to reunite with classmates, rekindle old friendships, and honor the legacy of our schools.

 

All of US together again to create “1” EPIC TURN UP in Nola Baby!!! The weekend of all weekends of events you don’t want to miss!!! We look forward to seeing all of you there!
