Hey everyone. Just out of curiosity, when do high schools usually hold their reunions? Is there like a typical time frame or a preferred period?
High school reunions are typically organized around significant anniversaries. The most common time frames for reunions are every 5 or 10 years after graduation, with the ten-year reunion being quite popular. For instance, if a class graduated in the year 2000, reunions might be held in 2005, 2010, 2015, and so on.
The timing of these reunions within the year often varies based on various factors such as the availability of the venue, weather, and preferences of the organizing committee. That said, many school reunions tend to be scheduled around the same time as homecoming, alumni weekends, or during the summer months when people might have more flexibility to travel.
Planning for these events sometimes starts a year or more in advance to ensure that classmates have ample time to learn about the reunion and make necessary arrangements. Given that classmates might be dispersed throughout the country or even globally, digital platforms can be very helpful in coordinating details and gauging what time of year works best for the majority.
