50 Years Reunion Hialeah High School “Golden Thoroughbreds”

Classes of ‘57, ‘58 ‘59, & ‘60

 

 

Dear Hialeah High School Alumni, Classes of ‘57, ‘58, ‘59 & ‘60,

  

Guess What? Right! It’s almost five years since the 2004 “Golden Thoroughbreds” reunion. Our reunion planning committees are now in the process of organizing the Golden Thoroughbreds Reunion for all of the above classes.

 

Reunions require much time and effort on the part of the committees, so we’re asking that all class members keep in touch and respond ASAP with information requested.  Our reunion theme this year will be “THOSE WERE THE DAYS, MY FRIEND”. For sure , everyone can relate to this theme as it probably reminds us of our most memorable times.
