Welcome to the Homestead High Class Of 1998 web site!
For those of you that were able to come to the 10 Year reunion on Saturday, THANK YOU!!! We hope all of you had a great time!! It was great to see everyone again and catch up on the last 10 years! We had over 100 people show up, and it seemed like everyone had fun!
A couple of you have asked about the slideshow that we had playing at the reunion-- we are actually just working on putting that on the website, so we'll let you know as soon as that's up and running. **Please note: we are only uploading the slideshow on this site, so you have to create a profile in order to view the slideshow/pictures.
If you took any pictures at the reunion itself, please send us a copy of the album to homestead98@gmail.com-- a lot of people that weren't able to attend still wanted to see everyone's pictures!
And again, if you keep in touch with anyone that has not yet created a profile, please ask them to do so!
