45th REUNION WAS A GREAT SUCCESS!
GREAT TO SEE ALL THE CLASSMATES FROM CLASS OF 1980
Bub's Irish Pub in Germantown was the host on October 11 for Homestead High School's Class of 1980 - 45th Reunion! We had 44 classmates and several spouses for about 50 total attendees! A few of us also attended the Homestead Homecoming Parade and Homecoming Game the Friday before the reunion. Homestead beat Slinger!
It's always fun to reconnect but also reminisce about school memories and also what each of us have been up to for the last 45 years. We also enjoyed watching the Brewers win the Division Championship game that night - bummer they couldn't get past the Dodgers though.
We also honored the 25 classmates who are no longer with us. A list of classmates who have passed is below.

Reunion Committee
Reunion Committee
The 42nd Reunion was a great time with over 60 classmates, but every reunion takes many people to make that fun happen. As President of the HHS Class of 1980, I'm happy to help organize the event, but the real work is done by a group of classmates who deserve a lot of the credit for many successful reunions!

The cost of a reunion isn't just the food, room rental and decorations. Every year, we have to renew our website, we subscribe to a couple sites that help us find classmates and to post our reunion information. The reunion weekend also has costs outside of food such as nametags, fees to the payment services provider, etc.
If you're interested in sponsoring part of the reunion, please contact Chuck Guerin via the Contact Us section below. Sponsorship opportunities can be offering reduced cost or free beer and wine, sponsoring the deserts or appetizers or late night pizza feast. You will be recognized in signage and at the reunion.
Making a donation to the Reunion Committee is also a great way to keep our costs down. Contact Chuck Guerin to donate to the HHS Class of 1980: chuckguerinHHS1980@gmail.com.
