No, not counting the first class "reunion" that was held right after graduation.

The 10 year mark passed several years ago, either they didn't have one, or I wasn't invited and they did a good job keeping it secret.

Wait, that's a thing? You can straight-up not be invited? Or do you mean you didn't know it when it was going to be until it happened?

^ If you've moved and no one involved either knows or are able to find out your email address or new home address, they won't be able to send you an invite. My cousin was on her reunion planning committe and she said it was a ton of work just trying to find out where people moved to, if they'd died, etc. This was 20 years ago, so it was pretty much all phone calls and mailing letters, but I'd imagine it's still a good amount of work to get contact info.

Nah man, it should be easy now. Humans in the past 20 years have developed the habit of constantly inputting their information into an online database for reasons. You can just search Facebook.

I currently live in a different state from my high school. For my 10 yr reunion, I skipped mostly because getting taking the time to go would have been an issue. For my 20 yr, I definitely considered going, but once the price and venue were revealed, I changed my mind ($65 a pop for dinner and dancing at a place my cousin had a nightmare of a wedding reception the year previous). I still feel obligated to eventually attend one, but I don't feel the need to try to reconnect with people I never connected with, especially since nobody has even tried to connect with me on Facebook.

To me, that would fall under the "didn't know when it was going to be until it happened." I picture not being invited as meaning they didn't want you to come/you weren't allowed to come, which is why I was baffled that could even happen. Not being able to contact you is a different scenario.

I went to the five year one, they never did a 10 year one, and I had conflicts so I couldn't go to the 15 year one last year (sucked because it was like two blocks away from where I live now, but oh well). They did have an informal BBQ at a local park the next day so I did stop by that on my lunch break from work, so I guess I kind of technically went.

But yeah, not something I'd try to avoid or anything, although really I'm in contact with everyone I want to be from then anyway, but I don't have any animosity towards others and it's nice to see them every 5-10 years, lol. Plus these days even the people I am in contact with, its hard to get all of us together at once so if all or most of us can make it to a reunion, it's cool.

Naw, I failed my last year from skipping too much so most of my friends graduated before I did, I just finished my last couple classes by correspondence in like a couple months and graduated with people I didn't really know.
This is my signature, there are many others like it, but this one is mine.

I would go but whoever is in charge of setting them up never did for our 10 year reunion. Seeing as next year is would be our 20th and no one has started the planning, I'm guessing their won't be one.

I think it's an outdated concept now. My class had an eleventh year one because ten was forgotten. It was really informal, from the looks of it. I got invited. The person who put it on was basically Toby from Romy & Michelle's HS Reunion, and her and I had a similar dynamic to that character and Janeane Garafalo's character... As appealing as that made it already, I had a 3000 mile flight the morning after and wanted to not feel burned out.

The 10 year mark passed and I didn't even get an invitation to go. Technically it was about 10 minutes from my house so I could have, but I wouldn't of even if they sent me one.

The people I care about from high school I am friends with on Facebook. The rest of them I would rather not see again if I can help it.

I don't see the point anymore. The ppl I care enough to see I stay in contact with and even acquaintances occasionally I'll communicate with via Facebook. Last reunion me and a few other friends just got together at a bar instead of the actual venue to hang out and catch up.

My high school class had one reunion so far, but I was out of the country when it happened. From what I heard, the turnout wasn't great, so I will likely only go to the next one if I happen to be in the area (as it seems unlikely it will be worth traveling) and if I am sure of at least a few people I know/knew attending.

I was the last graduating class from my high school. Some guys organized a 5-year one that I wasn't able to go to, but I don't think anyone planned a 10-year reunion.

Went to my 10-year reunion back in 2004 and enjoyed myself.

I didn't hear a thing about a 20-year reunion (supposed to have happened in 2014) - either it wasn't arranged, or it involved having to be on Facebook or some other social media to find out (which I can't be bothered with anyway).

If (and ONLY IF) there's a 25 year reunion (in 2019), I haven't heard a thing yet.

We didn't have a five-reunion. We did have have a ten-year reunion and I went to that. It was... not great. I am sort-of friends with a couple of people from then, but we didn't really meet until after high school.
