It was a long time. Nearly 50 years. Most of our classmates are spread out all over the country (and some in other countries). Generally, we’ve become disconnected as you might expect. On the surface, we may seem to have very little in common any more except… we went to high school together.
It’s likely that we all, to some degree, carry with us memories from our high school years. While those memories may be terrific for some and less so for others, it’s pretty safe to say that our lives today bear little resemblance to who we were in 1968. Not zero, but little. Still, for many, the classmate connection, as faint as it may seem, remains at least as a curiosity and quite possibly… a desire to reattach a lost puzzle piece from the past.
We don’t think it’s always possible to make this meaningful “reconnection” at a one-night event sometime in the future (although that event will take place during the summer of 2018). After 50 years, it seemed logical to make the Foothill 68 Reunion a broader, longer-lasting experience utilizing as many modern day communication and engagement tools as we can. And so the idea of the “Year-Long Reunion” emerged. We’re taking this reunion thing to new level. Elevators will be provided.
Now, the Reunion continues indefinitely here on Foothill 68. Much more to come…
Our Mission Statement sets the stage:
We seek to bring together as many Foothill 68 classmates as possible in a reunion community with lasting opportunities for reconnection and positive experiences.

The Reunion Continues…
We’ve been telling you that we would create opportunities for as many classmates who want to participate, to reconnect, engage and enjoy this 50th Reunion experience over the next year regardless of their location or ability to travel. That’s what we’ve been working on since April, 2017.
Here are some of the other components with more to come:
- Our Facebook Page — A great place to get the latest announcements and updates
- Foothill 68 Connection (our Facebook Group) — Join the ongoing conversation with other classmates
- Reunion Radio 68 (our podcast) — Bringing your voices and other relevant features to our community in a fun, modern day audio format
- History Department — View all kinds of Artifacts & Memorabilia from an ancient time as well as scanned yearbooks and more
- Classmate Status — Frequently updated, check on who’s connected and who we’re still looking for
We want to help you stay connected. For questions, suggestions or just thoughts on any of this, please contact us.
Stay tuned and stay in touch!
