More than 200 guests, including alumni and faculty, attended the event at the school for cocktails and dinner. The event was hosted by Bruce Denson, Class of 1968.

The Centennial Celebration included addresses by Altamont Head of School Cecil Stodghill, event chairman Tim Callahan and Denson. Historian and filmmaker Chris Thomas also presented his new documentary film about Birmingham University School.
