Celebrating 40 Years of Memories
Capitol Class of 86 Reunion
Join us for a weekend of nostalgia, laughter, and reconnection as we celebrate our 40th reunion. Your presence will make this milestone truly special.
Honoring Our Journey
Welcome class of ’86 to your 40 Year High School Reunion. August 13th – August 16th.
I hope this message finds each of you in good spirits and good health. It’s hard to believe that we are approaching such an incredible milestone—our 40-Year Class Reunion!
On behalf of the entire reunion committee, I want you to know that a lot of early planning and hard work is already underway to make this a truly memorable experience for everyone. Our goal is simple: to create a weekend filled with great memories, laughter, reconnecting, and celebrating how far we’ve all come since our days at Capitol.
A reunion is only as special as the people who attend, and it just wouldn’t be the same without you, yes YOU. We need your participation. Your presence, your stories, and your energy are what will make this event unforgettable.
Please mark your calendars for August 13th – August 16th and start making plans now to join us. We can’t wait to see familiar faces, reconnect with old friends, and create new memories together.
Looking forward to celebrating with all of you very soon.
Warm regards,
Eric McMath, MBA
Class President, Class of 1986
