Pullman High School Class of 1984

Reunion information

Dates

PLEASE JOIN US on Friday, July 19, 2024 through Sunday, July 21, 2024 for the Pullman High School Class of 1984 reunion -- yes, it has been 40 years! The reunion planning committee has put together a schedule of casual activities. Our hope is that they provide many opportunities to meet up with your former classmates, and get reacquainted. Whether or not you actually graduated with us, you are welcome (and bring a plus-one, if you would like to).

Tickets will be needed for the Saturday afternoon gathering (see below). The other events are either free or self-paid.

Get updates

You can get reunion updates on the Facebook page, by checking back here, or get added to the email list by contacting Jennifer (see below).

Friday after-party: Walk over to Ricos (200 E Main Street) for more visiting (note: there is construction in downtown Pullman this summer, so finding a parking place that will work for both is advised!)
