First Graduating Class of Olympic Heights High School Reunites After 20 Years

     Twenty years ago today, seniors from Olympic Heights High School (OHHS), said goodbye to a school where they were seniors. Twice, in just a couple of weeks on June 22, the alumni will reunite with not only with classmates from OHHS but with those from their rival, Spanish River High School (SRHS).

     “Just before our junior year, Olympic Heights opened,” said Charles Keys, graduate of SRHS class of 1993. “That meant that hundreds of our classmates and friends would move to another school halfway through our high school years.”

Three grades moved to the school but not the seniors.

“It was almost like we were seniors, twice,” said Monica Brosman Smith, graduate of OHHS class of 1993. “That’s exactly why we are having our 20 year reunions the same weekend this year; while we had great friends moving to the new school, so many of our friends remained at the other high school (Spanish River).”

Keys and Smith, both class officers of their respective high schools are on their reunion committees and planned for the reunions to coincide on the same weekend.

“While the reunion events are separate it allows us to get together with friends from both schools during a celebratory time,” said Smith.

If you are a class of 1993 alumni of OHHS or SRHS more details around the events can be found at the 1st Class Reunions website.
