Those who participate will be brought to Montgomery by Charter Bus on May 26 for a riverboat dinner on the Harriott II. On the second day, guests will attend a banquet at Spring Hill Suites back in Birmingham. The reunion will end with a social event at Faith Missionary Baptist Church in the Roebuck area.
Students from Village Springs, Bradford, Warrior, Trafford and Kimberly graduated from Hooper City and North Jefferson High Schools in 1966. North Jefferson High School was established in 1956 after the Jefferson County School Board wanted to decrease overcrowding during the Integration Era. There were 178 graduates from Hooper City and 39 graduates from North Jefferson.
Hooper City High School has since been converted into a community center, while North Jefferson High School is no longer in use.
