Alexander High Reunion underway this weekend
Published 10:38 am Friday, July 25, 2014
The black and gold banners are up and the preparations have all been made, as the annual Alexander High School Reunion comes to town Friday through Sunday.
Graduates of AHS reunite to celebrate their alma mater, which served as Brookhaven’s black high school until integration in 1970. At that time, the students were merged into Brookhaven High School and Alexander became a junior high school.
A parade downtown on Saturday morning will be one of the highlights for the public, with lineup set for 9 a.m. in front of the downtown post office, followed by the start of the parade at 10 a.m.
Also free and open to the public without tickets are the welcome and opening program at 6 p.m. Friday at Alexander Junior High School and the general assembly program Saturday at noon at Alexander Junior High School.
Tickets are available at Alexander Junior High School for all other events.
