Evergreen Park Community High School Celebrates 70th Anniversary With All-School Reunion

EVERGREEN PARK, IL – An all-school reunion open to all alums of vergreen Park Community High School is planned for this month. The 21+ event - one that is typically held only once every five years - will take place on Saturday, Feb. 28 at 115 Bourbon Street in nearby Merrionette Park.

Mustang alums from every year are invited to attend. This year is notable in the history of the school as EPCHS celebrates its 70th anniversary. Alums dating back to the first graduating class—the Class of 1958—are expected to attend and connect with others who share their Mustang legacy.

Attendees will have a chance to view thousands of photographs collected from EPCHS over the school’s seven decades of history. Alumni are also encouraged to take advantage of a free tour of the high school planned for earlier in the day. Alums interested in the tour should contact Dr. Jolie Burns-Casey, a member of the EPCHS Class of 1987 and member of the EPCHS Foundation’s reunion planning committee, via email at jolieburnscasey@gmail.com.

“The tour will be such a nice way to walk down memory lane,” Burns-Casey said.

The reunion will run from 5:30-9:30 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 28, at 115 Bourbon Street, 3359 W. 115th St. in Merrionette Park. Pre-sale tickets are going for $60 and can be purchased here until Feb. 13. Admission includes a four hour buffet and open bar.
