Please encourage your classmates to contact us with their updated information by completing their Crusader Profile.

    • Address Labels - $0.50 per label (print)

Class Reunion Gifts to LCHS
Below are just a couple of class reunion gift ideas:
 
  • An item from LCHS& Wish List.
  • Capital Campaign recognition opportunity to underwrite the cost of something in the new Dining Hall & Catholic Student Life Center, on which construction begins at the conclusion of the current school year.
  • Tuition Assistance - Currently, LCHS has over $200,000 in unfunded tuition assistance already allocated to students for this current school year! Any gift amount would be tremendously impactful for our students.

 
Frequently Asked Questions
 
Who plans a class reunion? 
Typically, it is the responsibility of the class president from your senior year to plan the class reunion. Any members of the class may volunteer to help run reunions.
 
Can we take a tour of LCHS and/or have Mass over a reunion weekend? 
Absolutely! Tours and/or a Class Mass are possibilities for your reunion weekend.  Please contact Lori (Haney) Wagner ’83 by calling 717.509.0313 or emailing [email protected].
 
When do you have a reunion? 
Typically, every class of Crusaders celebrates their class reunion every 5 years. Some classes/classmates even gather yearly or monthly for low-key get-togethers. 
 
How far in advance should we start planning our reunion? 
We suggest at least 6 months to a year. This will allow time for your class to form a reunion committee, find any “lost” alumni, reach out to classmates to determine dates, times, and locations, book a location and arrange any entertainment/food/activities, and allow time for classmates to make travel arrangements.
 
Helpful Hints
These are a few helpful hints we have received from the leaders of previous reunions throughout the years. Not all of these may be necessary for your reunion, but they are great tips that may make reunion planning easier for you:
 
  •  Use this webpage to post announcements about your reunion.
  • Create an email address for your class at a free e-mail site such as Google. This allows for easy communication when planning and receiving RSVPs.
  • Create a banking account for your class reunion with the class name on it so no one will have to use their own account to handle the finances.
    • This allows all classmates participating in the reunion to make contributions toward the class reunion, instead of an individual.
    • Banks suggest that you do not put the checking account under your name or social security number, but instead create a “trade name”, such as “LCHS Class of 1977”.
  • While the actual “reunion” should be your main event, consider having “sub” events, especially for those traveling from out of town.
    • Golf outings, family playtimes at a local park, or just a meet up time at a local bar for
      a low-key get-together the night before might be a great option to make your reunion a weekend-long celebration.
    • Keep in mind that everyone wants to go to their reunion to see classmates and catch
      up. Sometimes keeping it simpler is better than throwing an event as elaborate as
      prom – not to mention easier on the reunion committee!
