Hello Classmates!
We are getting ready for the Lanier High School Homecoming on September 11, 2026. We are looking forward to a great time, but are calling on all of classmates to help support this event with a monetary donation. We want our classes’ tailgate spot to be the best with food, fun, and fellowship, but we can’t put the burdens and expenses on just a few. So please everyone help out if you can. No amount is too small!! (Let’s also start thinking about our 50th year reunion fundraising - dues, raffles, etc.)

Thanks, Your Homecoming Committee!

Hello 1979 Classmates

Classmates the 2nd Quarterly Luncheon did go on as plan despite the rainy weather, here are a few pictures of the ones who came out, we had great lunch at Brando's Steakhouse and Buffett in Crystal Springs, had one classmate to stop by on their way to a family function.

The 3rd Quarterly Luncheon will be September 26, 2026 and it will be Tailgating style during Jackson State Univ. Football Game, they will be playing the Southern Univ. Jaguars. So come on out and have a good time will have good food and music and possible be able to watch the game on the TV that if you are not going in the stadium.

Like it was said in our last message, whether you attended our first or the second gathering or you are joining us for the very first time, we would love to see everyone there..
