40 Year Reunion

Your Registration Includes
Reconnect with the people who shaped who you are. 40 years in the making — don't miss it.
A live database kept current by the committee. Classmates can submit and update their own info anytime. The first directory will be generated about 4 weeks after the reunion — so we can include as many classmates as possible — with a current PDF available on demand from then on.
So you'll know exactly who you're talking to — and they'll know you too. No awkward moments.

Gone But Not Forgotten
We honor the classmates who walked these halls with us and are no longer with us. They will always be a part of the SHS Class of 1986.
Tina Flanagan Dickerson
Passed away August 28, 2022
If you know of a classmate who should be honored here, please let us know.
Matthew 25:36
None of us get through life without a wrong turn or two. For most of us, the cost was survivable — a hard lesson, a bruised ego, a story we tell differently now. For a few of our classmates, one decision — or a chain of them — led somewhere the rest of us can't fully imagine living.
"I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me."Matthew 25:36 — NIV
"Continue to remember those in prison as if you were together with them in prison, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering."Hebrews 13:3 — NIV
A few of our Southwood Class of '86 classmates are currently incarcerated. They're still classmates. Below is how to reach out — a letter costs a stamp, but it might mean more than we know.
