The HHSAA Website: Promoting Your Class Reunions

The HHS Alumni Association website, www.hobartalumni.org, is the place to go to find out about class reunions. The Classes of 1952, 1962, 1967 and 1972 are all having reunions in September this year, while the Class of 1964 has a Saturday brunch every month at the Paragon Restaurant. More information is on the website. The HHSAA website also reports on timely matters of interest to HHS alumni.

BrickieFest 2011 was the kickoff event for the HHS Alumni Association, and will not be an annual event. The Alumni Association is committed to supporting Hobart High School and its alumni through scholarships to HHS students and alumni, and professional development grants to teachers. But we will help organize and publicize your reunion!
