Hillhouse High School Class Of 1965 Celebrates 60th Reunion With Visit To Alma Mater

NEW HAVEN, CT —Members of the Hillhouse High School Class of 1965 will return to their alma mater to celebrate their 60th reunion with a special visit to the school Nov. 8.

This milestone gathering will begin with a guided tour of Hillhouse High School, led by Principal Antoine Billy, who has "generously offered" to show classmates the school’s many new facilities and programs, according to a news release from the school district.

Highlights will include the Floyd Little Athletic Center and other major additions that reflect the growth and transformation of Hillhouse over the decades.

For many alumni, this visit represents a meaningful return to the site where they came of age during one of the most pivotal periods in American history — the early 1960s, marked by the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and the beginning of the Vietnam War.

The event is set for Saturday, Nov. 8, from 10:30 a.m. to noon, at Hillhouse High School, 480 Sherman Parkway, New Haven.
