BYH Reunion Central

Brigham Young High School Alumni Reunions

We welcome information about all upcoming BYH reunions, large or small, and past, present or future. We will help provide notices and publicity beforehand, and reunion photo album space afterward, for each one. This is a volunteer and non-profit website -- there is no cost for this service.

We invite class presidents, reunion committees, individuals, and volunteer historians to contribute pictures and content to this website. Simply email information and photos.

Some BYH classes hold a traditional reunion every five years, but hold inexpensive get-togethers at parks and in private homes every year in between, for those who can attend. Some classes also invite the classes immediately before and after their graduation year.

BYH Reunion Central is delighted to be an active partner in making your BYH gathering a success.

The reunion was held in the Bullock Room -- this is the old chorus room on the third floor of the Academy Building. The reunion formally began at 5 pm and continued through 8:45 pm.

The program included a catered meal, a memorial booklet, pictures, and a whole lot of catching up. A golf tournament was held earlier. Members of the Class of 1969 came for an enjoyable evening of memories and reminiscing.

The reunion committee earlier prepared an announcement flyer with details and registration instructions. Plenty of advance notice was given for those who made a special trip for this event so they could purchase discount air fares and make other travel arrangements.
