Planning your 2021 Reunion? Missed your 2020 Reunion? Let us know and we can help!

It is our great pleasure to host class reunions. Some classes choose to convene off site for dinner or to meet at the home of a classmate; others request help with a party in the Slantdome with a school tour. Whatever your preference, we encourage you to contact us so that we can assist you in any way we can – with contact information for classmates, catering recommendations or information on class gift opportunities.

Please email the Director of Alumni Relations, Becky Feltes ’97 Fischesser at bfischesser@sfhscollegeprep.org to learn how SFHS can help plan your reunion.
