Reunions are a fantastic opportunity to reconnect with your classmates and even former teachers and staff, if the reunion committee includes them. On-campus reunions are also a great way to see all the changes La Salle Catholic College Preparatory has undergone in the past 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 or even 35 years!

Each class chooses reunion chairs or a reunion committee, generally a small group of 2-4 classmates who organize the reunion, make decisions on the venue, activities, and menu.

Falcon Fan Tailgate/All Alumni Weekend is always the optimal time for a reunion! Both events are typically held in the fall, when most people are not on vacation.

Mailing lists are generated out of a database used for La Salle's Advancement and Alumni offices. However, the best source of information for class contact information is usually class members themselves, collected through group emails, social media, shared Facebook pages, etc.

The reunion committee for each class has the option of holding their reunion, free of charge, in the La Salle Center (a.k.a. the Brother's Residence) or choosing an off-site location.

Spouses, significant others and children are welcome to attend the reunion. Reunions are always a good opportunity for you to introduce your new spouse or significant other to your former classmates! The reunion committee decides whether to invite spouses, significant others and children.

The funds are used to secure a venue (if an off-campus venue is selected), food, decorations, keepsakes or any additional services (music/entertainment) the reunion chairs/committee selects.

Many classes choose to give back to La Salle at the time of their reunion, collecting funds for a class gift to support the mission of the school and current students, fund a special project or make a gift to their class endowment fund. It's a special way to recognize the lasting value of your Lasallian education and share it with current and future students. Such gifts are deeply appreciated by La Salle and demonstrate our motto - "Enter to Learn, Leave to Serve" so beautifully.

If money is left over after a reunion, the class is encouraged to donate the leftover funds to the Alumni Endowment, a different school fund, a school project, or the class reunion gift.

The Alumni Director facilitates the relationship between La Salle and the class which is holding a reunion. The Alumni Director generates the mailing list and may oversee ticket funds for the reunion. In addition, the Alumni Director can help with purchasing, and access to decorations, supplies, and locations for your reunion.

La Salle has tables, chairs, decorations, a small sound system, and a full kitchen to help support your reunion.
