The Excelsior High School Class of 1976 has maintained a strong tradition of reconnecting and celebrating its shared history since graduation on June 16, 1976. Over the years, classmates have gathered for milestone reunions and participated in Excelsior’s popular all-class alumni events, renewing friendships and preserving memories of their days as Pilots. The 40-Year Reunion in 2016, organized by classmates, brought together graduates for a memorable night of reminiscing, laughter, and reflection on four decades of life experiences.

In addition to class-specific reunions, many members of the Class of 1976 have regularly attended the annual Excelsior All-Class Reunion Picnics held on the historic campus. These gatherings have provided opportunities for alumni from multiple generations to tour the school grounds, share memorabilia, reconnect with former classmates and teachers, and celebrate the enduring legacy of Excelsior High School.

As the class approaches its 50th Reunion in 2026, the Excelsior High School Class of 1976 continues to honor the friendships, school spirit, and memories that began during the nation’s Bicentennial year. Through reunions, alumni websites, photographs, and shared stories, the Class of 1976 remains connected by a common bond and pride in being part of Excelsior High School’s rich history.
