PHS Class of '86 - 40th Reunion!

Homecoming Weekend, October 9–10, 2026

Update: the 80s Homecoming Dance Party planned for Saturday, October 10 has been cancelled due to a lack of sign-ups. Ticket sales are closed. Thank you to everyone who stepped up to support it.

It is still our 40th year, and it is still Homecoming weekend. Here is what is happening:

  • Friday, October 9: the Varsity Homecoming game kicks off at 7:00 PM. We are looking to tailgate beforehand, starting at 5:00 PM in the back parking lot behind the pool. Bring a chair, a snack to share, and your Pirate pride. Just wanting to see if there is interest, so let us know if you plan to come.
  • Saturday, October 10: a small dinner for classmates who want to get together, with a goal of 12 to 20 people. Want to be counted in? Email mikek@pattonville86.com by noon on Friday, October 9, and we will send you the time and place.

Same Pirate Pride. Still making new memories.

Make a donation — donations toward the reunion and future class events are still welcome.
