Questions
Good to know
Who’s invited?
Everyone who graduated with the GIHS Class of 1977, plus anyone who spent time in those halls with us and finished somewhere else. Spouses, partners and guests are welcome.
When and where is it?
Fall 2027, on Grosse Ile. The committee is setting dates and a venue now, and everyone on the list hears first.
How much are tickets?
To be announced. We’ll keep the price as low as we can and post it here when tickets open.
Where should out-of-towners stay?
We’ll post nearby hotels, and any room block, here once the dates are set.
I can’t make it. Should I still sign up?
Yes. You’ll still get the updates, the stories and the photos, and you can send a memory or a hello for the group.
How can I help?
We need classmate-finders, photo-gatherers and a few planners. Check the box on the sign-up card and we’ll be in touch.
Who runs this site?
The Class of ’77 reunion committee. It isn’t an official Grosse Ile Township Schools website.
