Be sure to sign up to be included and join us at the main entrance of Eureka High School on Saturday, August 2 at 11am. It's going to be one for the memory books. 

 

Let's give new meaning to the term "Senior Class Photo" by re-enacting our Class of '85 shot! Who's ready to climb on some shoulders? Or not. Rock your rad 80's threads? Or not. Just don't miss this Epic photo op.


Skywalk Sunday at the Zoo

Join us on Sunday, August 3 at 11am at Sequoia Park Zoo to experience the world-famous Redwood Sky Walk and a chance to bid farewell to classmates from near and far. 

 

This award-wining interpretive platform sits 100 feet above the forest floor and stretches almost 1/4 mile long. If you prefer to keep your feet on the ground, you can enjoy the zoo's other exhibits, grab a bite to eat at the café, or browse the gift shop. For more information, check out the website HERE.

 

General admission to the Zoo includes Redwood Sky Walk. Tickets are currently $24.95 per person, or $14.95 for Humboldt County residents with discounts for those over 60 or under 13. Register here and pay at the entrance. Your reunion committee is working on getting a group rate if enough people register!
