Your Registration Includes
Reconnect with the people who shaped who you are. 40 years in the making — don't miss it.
A live database kept current by the committee. Classmates can submit and update their own info anytime. The first directory will be generated about 4 weeks after the reunion — so we can include as many classmates as possible — with a current PDF available on demand from then on.
So you'll know exactly who you're talking to — and they'll know you too. No awkward moments.

Support the Cowboys
⚠️ Sponsorship Deadline: June 30, 2026 — Information must be submitted by this date for inclusion in printed reunion materials.
Just like the back pages of our 1986 Southwood yearbook — where local businesses helped us cover the cost of printing — our sponsors make this reunion possible. Your sponsorship puts your business in front of hundreds of SHS alumni and their networks, and keeps our site running year-round. It's good for us. It's good for you. Cowboys support Cowboys.
