Ramona High School Class of 1970
"Stayin' Alive 'Til Our" 55-Year Reunion
October 3 - 5, 2025
Join us in October 2025 for an entire weekend of special events celebrating fifty-five years since leaving Ramona! We've planned a variety of free and reasonably priced opportunities to reunite with friends, scheduling most of them during daylight hours for those of us who have physical limitations. We plan to provide rides to the main reunion event for those with mobility issues or who can no longer drive, and we encourage alumni to consider "paying it forward" so that nobody is excluded because of the cost. Join us to celebrate and reconnect with friends from long ago!
