CONGRATULATIONS TO THE CLASS OF 2025!

Welcome Class of '25! Another group of Redwood students are now part of the Redwood High School Alumni Association! Redwood is almost 70 years old, with more than 25,000 graduates between 1959-2025.

REUNION SEASON IS ABOUT TO BEGIN!

What is a reunion? It's an opportunity to reconnect with friends you went to Redwood with as well as make new friends. High school reunions hold a unique place in the social fabric of our lives. They serve multiple purposes: a trip down memory lane, a chance to see how everyone has changed and evolved, and an opportunity to reconnect with those who were part of one of the most formative periods of our lives. For many, these reunions are a rare opportunity to revisit their youth, celebrate achievements, and reflect on the journey since graduation. They also offer a chance to rebuild bridges, forge new connections, and network professionally. In a world where social media often gives a skewed perception of people’s lives, high school reunions provide a genuine, face-to-face interaction that can be grounding and enlightening, an unforgettable evening that not only honors the past but also celebrates the present and future of its attendees.

10 year reunions are usually "low key" gatherings, often around the Thanksgiving holiday. Catching up at a local bar (Silver Peso??)  with drinks and snacks fits right it. You still have big dreams and plans. The hardest part is locating classmates but fortunately, many still have family living in the area.

20 year reunions are often the most interesting... classmates are well into their career paths and often raising familes. Women's names have changed and people have moved away so it's harder to located friends. 

30 year reunions... your'e almost 50 and getting more nostalgic for the carefree high school days. You're comfortable with yourself and can't wait to share memories as well as pictures of the kids and pets.

40 year reunions ... are just plain fun. Your kids are growing. retirement is in sight, and a new chapter is about to begin.

50 year reunions are a milestone! This is often the most well attended reunion and the most formal. You are into full nostalgia, many of you are retired, grandparents, and following the dream of travel and relaxation.Sharing your stories with classmates and reconnecting is just plain fun.

Reunions after the 50th often become lunches because driving at night is more of a challenge. Everyone is comfortable with themselves. We are who we are... no more "gonna be" or "gonna do." Lots of laughter at shared memories. we all have common aches and pains and are saddened to see the list of lost classmates grow.

There's something for everyone!

ALUMNI COUNCIL... WHAT WE DO

Our goals are to provide connections, information and activities that connect current Redwood students with those that have walked the halls before them. We sponsor the Redwood Athletic Hall of Fame and the Avenue of Giants, recognizing distinguished Alumni during their tenure at Redwood as well as their successes that followed. We accept nominations for each honor every year, due on October 1. We work with the Redwood Foundation to raise funds for school projects in the arts, academics and athletics as well as for the Alumni Scholarships.  We host Alumni Speaker Days each year where alumni from a variety of classes come and speak to students, sharing the path they have taken from Redwood through their current career successes. We also promote Alumni Businesses through the Red Pages and collaborate with the Redwood Library to Archive Redwood History and alumni contributions. And of course, we help classes organize Reunions each year by providing class lists and contact information as well as helpful suggestions for a successful event. Your class officers will be the contacts for future reunions.

RIP BILL MEDIGOVICH 

Bill Medigovich, fondly known as Med, passed away at the end of June in San Francisco. He was the ultimate math teacher for many years, guiding his students and mentoring his colleagues throught the constantly challenging math curriculum. He was a joyous man who loved opera and the theater. He will be missed.

& GLEN DICKEY RIP

Glen Dickey, long time math teacher passed away April 13 in Manteca near his daughter. Glen was very active throughout his life. His passion for many years was square dancing and the Tam Twirlers!  He was always encouraging his friends to join him. He was a kind and considerate man, an excellent math teacher and a good friend.
