Who’s coming…..I hope it’s you. We need everyone to register. We want to see your Feet on the Ground and Your Face in All the Places!

Please Hurry…Time is moving fast and here’s a reminder to encourage you to register for the Allen High Reunion.

Truthfully, the Allen High Reunion is the Ultimate Reunion of Reunions. The legacy has to keep going. Many of Allen High’s graduates and attendees have entered their eternal resting quarters, yet there are many that work tirelessly to keep the memory of their Amateur going.

We salute and appreciate all that have and continue to keep this tradition alive.

Let’s be honest, if Oakdale, Elizabeth, Hicks, Ole Forest or the Hardwood is where your roots began or sprouted this is a Reunion for you. For those who are considered as legacy, honor your parents, grand/great grandparents, and others by planning to attend.
