French High School Classes of ’74-’76 will be gathering for a group class reunion February 9-10, 2024 at the MCM Elegante’ Hotel. Three events are being planned and pricing is based on EARLY versus LATE Registration, the number of events that are being attended and if a guest will be attending with you.

Planning of an event of this magnitude requires food preparation and seating for the projected number attending. This can only be accomplished through pre-registration. Best pricing will be during EARLY registration through January 17th. LATE registration pricing starts on January 18th and will remain open through January 31st. Registration and payments will be processed through EventBrite and will include an EventBrite convenience fee added at the time of registration. Remember – registration ends on January 31, 2024 and NO At-Door Registration will be available.
