Hello LEHS Class of 1965 Alumni!

Can you believe that 60 years have gone by since we mingled in the corridors of LEHS? Well, it’s time to take a jaunt down memory lane. Our 60th reunion is set for Thursday, September 18, 2025 @ noon. We hope you will plan to attend our luncheon to catch up & reminisce with classmates while enjoying Spinelli’s delicious buffet (cash bar available).

The committee has been able to keep the price of a ticket at $65 per person (same as our 50th & 55th) as long as your check is received by August 15, 2025. The price per person will be $75 for those purchased after August 15th. Deadline for Reservations – September 4, 2025. Please note, no tickets will be sent out, just check in at the desk upon arrival.

We hope you’ll consider making a donation to our Scholarship Fund at this time. One of our classmates has challenged us to raise $6,000 this year to award to a worthy student in honor of our 60th Anniversary. Let’s make this happen!! We have given out over $36,000 in scholarships since 1981 with your generous donations and would like to keep this class gift going. See a complete list of Scholarship recipients on our website.

Both of these young ladies have worked very hard and done so well.  We wish them much success and happiness.

It’s Scholarship time again

It’s been awhile since you’ve heard from us!  Hope you got through the winter safe and sound and are enjoying some nice spring weather.  I know we all probably thought COVID would be long gone and we’d be out of the woods by now but hopefully by 2025 for our 60th reunion it will be safe to travel and enjoy a large gathering.

Status of our 55th + one reunion

Thank you to all our classmates and guests who supported our 55th (+ one) reunion on 9/24/21 by either attending or sending in a donation for our Scholarship Fund.  It was a tough year to go ahead with our reunion.  The Committee would have preferred to reschedule til 2022 but unfortunately the DoubleTree did not agree.  We received a lot of positive feedback from the attendees so we hope everyone had a good time and enjoyed catching up with old friends.  We canvassed the attendees to see what they would like to do for our 60th so stay tuned for a get together in 2025!!  In the meantime, stay healthy and have fun.   Also, remember if you move, change your email or phone number, please update on our website by using the form on-line so we can keep you informed.”
