Dedicated to our classmates whom we've lost through the years
YOU AIN'T SEEN NOTHIN' YET!
NHS CLASS OF 1974
50th REUNION
Ready for a celebration rife with UNEXPECTED and ENTERTAINING TWISTS??!! SO ARE WE! Even your plus-ones will want to stay and party--we promise!

Crafted meticulously over many months by your Reunion Planning Committee, the Nampa High School Class of 1974's 50th Reunion offers something for everyone. Tour our former high school, gather with classmates at Friday's Evening Reception, opt in for the Golf Tournament, party and play at the Celebration Banquet on Saturday, and finish the weekend--but not the conversations--with the Sunday Social. Rekindle relationships and memories of your high school years, make new connections, be amazed at what has happened over the past 50 years, and look to the future!

The cost to you -- a mere $5.00 PER PERSON REGISTRATION FEE, which includes all events except golf. There is a $90.00 fee per person if you choose to participate in the Golf Tournament.
