Welcome to the Woodrow Wilson High School Class of 1972

The Class of 1972 celebrated its 4Oth year since graduation with an event filled weekend July 27-29, 2012.

Over 150 classmates and guests enjoyed a no-host Friday night mixer with complimentary appetizers at Buster’s Beach House on Alamitos Bay. Two hundred thirty attendees celebrated at the reunion main event on Saturday at the Long Beach Yacht Club, and on Sunday morning we gathered in the quad at Wilson High School for a picnic and views of the current campus. Principal Moraga provided crowd-pleasing tours of the school and shared an orientation video created during our era at Wilson. Some members from our class were in the video, which delighted the viewers!
For those of you who attended any or all of the events, we hope that you had as wonderful a weekend as we did!  For all attendees and for those of you who were not able to be there, photos can be viewed by clicking on the album links in the upper right hand corner of this main page.  To share your tasteful photos on this website, create an album on Shutterfly.com and send the link to:  MGoldhamer@socal.rr.com

Sunday Picnic on the Wilson High Campus

The Reunion Weekend will continued on Sunday with a picnic held in the Wilson High School quad

Why Attend?

It’s been forty years since we graduated from high school. A lot has happened since then. We don’t look like teenagers anymore, and we fortunately don’t think like teenagers anymore. We’ve grown up.

The reunion weekend is a chance to spend time with people who share similar memories and experiences. We were all “there”, and we’re happy that you’re still “here.” 

They say that you can never go back. Well, for just one weekend, maybe you can.
