Good evening PHS Alumni. Our next meeting has been set for Oct 1 at 5:30 pm. If you are interested in attending, send your name phone number and class to me at [email protected] and I will get our information to you.

Good afternoon fellow PHS Alumni. A quick update as your committee prepares for the 112th Consecutive All Class Reunion. We’ve made some changes for next year, which we’ll announce very soon. Talented music entertainment is set, and maybe even more than expected. For now, individual classes should prepare their Friday night events, and please let us know when and where your classes will meet so we can help get your information out to fellow classmates. It would be a help to us if we had updated contact information of a class representative who can spread word to your class so we can be sure to let everyone know what is happening during the weekend. As your plans are made, we can post the information for all to see on this sight.

Although this is a PHS Alumni weekend, we always hope for interaction with the community as PHS has been part of the Powell Community since the first graduating class of 1915! Spread the word that everyone is invited to attend any and all PHS reunion activities.

We have new members to our Board, and we would like to thank two retiring members. Terry and Jane Lane have retired, contributing to successful reunions over the years. Terry has been hugely instrumental in the success of the Panther Open over the years. We thank them for their tireless hours spent making your reunion weekend a success. We are actively looking for a replacement for the Open, so any suggestions are welcome.

Thank you to all as you present ideas for the continuing success of your Annual All Class Reunions. As I’ve mentioned before, PHS continues to have the second most years of All Class Reunions! Each year we search for ways to continue our streak. It would be advantageous to all as others plan events to coordinate their plans with us, so we all have a successful weekend and make it so the alumni and the community can attend all the activities.

More updates to follow soon, but for now I hope to see you all June 25-26, 2027!

Good afternoon to all the great alumni of PHS! Planning for the 112th Annual All Class PHS Reunion has started. I appreciate the interest created by my last posting, and would like to start the follow up. If those interested could send an email to me at [email protected] and include your email, graduating class or when you attended PHS, if you live in the area and can attend a limited amount of meetings annually and your availability it would be appreciated. We will have another meeting probably in August or September to finalize a lot of the activities for the 112th ! Thank you all !

Good afternoon fellow PHS graduates as we put the 111th Annual All Class Reunion in the history books! Friday night numerous classes met to celebrate their own class reunion, then Saturday night all came together to mark the 111th reunion, celebrating since 1915 when the first PHS class graduated. Individual class participation Friday was good, but Saturday night turnout was down, no thanks to some weather rolling through and numerous other activities in Powell and the area. (I'll try and get some photos uploaded). Our planned activities saw a decrease year over year as well. Powell is not the biggest of cities, so when an event such as ours is going on, everyone wants to plan some activity. We were told by the Chamber a couple years ago that our weekend brought in the most out of state people of any weekend of the year. Hence, more people coming to town, everyone wants some of the activity. I hope that as the reunions continue, our turnout stays high so we can continue to add on to our annual number. Just for the record, AI Overview states "The longest-running annual ALL CLASS high school reunion is held by Powell High School in Powell, Wyoming. Their annual association has existed for well over a century, hosting large all-class gathering every single year". Who's to doubt AI, however my own research says we are number two behind an Ohio school and ahead of a number three Seattle area school by a couple years. Its all about wording, however, lets continue to support our own school on a yearly bases. More research by your committee!

Classes are already planning for next year, as the Class of 1977 is in the planning stages for their 50th! And I personally know the class of '68 has started planning for their 60th in 2028! As your class makes plans, let us know so we can share times and places so your turnout will be tops. For those planning, the 112th Annual All Class Reunion will be celebrated on June 25th and 26th, 2027!

Every year your committee looks for ideas and ways to make your reunion experience better. Suggestions always welcome. The committee this year consisted of 8 individuals, some serving over 10 years, and some who have been on earlier committees. If you are willing to help keep this record intact and growing annually, please let us know so we can get you involved. Next year may bring some changes, so stay tuned and get your ideas to us soon, so the 112th Annual All Class reunion will be one of the best ever.

Hoping to hear from you and see you all the 25th and 26th of June, 2027!

Powell High School Reunion Information!!

06/06/2026

>> Every year since the graduating class of Powell High School in 1915 celebrated their first reunion, an annual reunion has been held, and this year is no different marking the 111th Annual All Class Reunion and celebration. PHS has the distinction of continuing this tradition where many schools no longer hold such events. As far as our research shows, PHS ranks number two, perhaps in the world, with consecutive all class reunions, and hopefully the tradition will continue! The reunion weekend brings to Powell alumni from distant places to relive memories of our hometown! Events are planned for two days, June 26th and 27th, with time to renew old memories with classmates and to see how the community has changed over the years. As alumni return, they bring an increased boom to the community, from restaurants to motels to local small businesses. It is always hoped that the businesses would support the event, as some do through sponsorship signs at the annual PHS Open golf tournament. Other ways for the community to show support is to show up at the events and voice your support, or even become involved to help the tradition continue. Many alumni travel great distances, and many tell us that they are surprised that their local classmates don’t come to their planned events. This year is 111 years of a tradition the city of Powell can be proud of. It would be nice to see the city show support, perhaps elected officials who graduated from PHS could take in an event that showcases not just Powell High School but also the beloved city we all grew up in. All the Friday and Saturday events except the individual class events on Friday night are open for all alumni, and the Powell community is invited to attend. The tradition has failed in many communities around the country, don’t let it fail in Powell. Each year members of the alumni committee search for new ideas to make the weekend better, and continually ask for new members to join our group. Some have served many years since their graduation, and we thank them for their service, but they would now like to see new members take over the tradition. Search out that old Panther pride instilled in you to step up and offer your time and talent to keep the tradition going. For those interested you can send an email to [email protected] or [email protected]. Your alumni committee hopes to see a great turnout of alumni and Powell locals at our upcoming weekend event to make the 111th PHS All Class Reunion a success!
