Hello Class of '81!

The 40 year reunion was held August 6 and 7, 2021. What a great time we had! Thanks to everyone who was able to attend. It was a unusual year to, say the least. There were cancelations, postponements and rescheduling all year. The committee was planning an event that we were never sure would actually happen. In the end, the timing was good, the weather was great and the reunion was  a success. 

It was good to see all the classmates who were able to make it. Hopefully we'll see many more next time. How about 2026?? Keep an eye on this website, we may be planning something. 

What an incredible launch of the Scholarship Endowment Fund. Currently there has been almost $40,000 donated! Amazing! Let's keep it going! Watch for updates as the fund grows. 

 Capital High School Alumni Class of 1981 Memorial

Scholarship Endowment

Fellow classmates Brent Campbell, Bobby Veroulis and Glen Campbell
have initiated the formation of a scholarship endowment to honor our
classmates who have passed, listed below, and acts as a living legacy by
giving a graduating Senior at Capital High School a little financial boost
on their educational journey.
We are honoring the following classmates at present while realizing as
time moves forward all of us will join this list:
Curt Adams, Brett Bjerke, Diane Bushnell, Karin Cooper, Kathi Frankino,
Mike Gober, Ray Hunthausen, Father Stuart Long, Jerry Manolovitz,
Donna Williams, Todd Perrin, Rick Radke, Christy Roe (Eller), Wendy
Thompson, Chris Vonada, Heidi Zimmerman.
We have teamed with the Montana Community Foundation, located in
Helena, and Capital High School to establish and assist in administering
the Capital High School Alumni Class of 1981 Memorial Scholarship.
The Montana Community Foundation was established with the
principal purpose to receive and administer funds as endowments for
various charitable, scientific, or educational purposes and organizations
in Montana and presently administers the CHS Class of 1977 Memorial
Scholarship, the only other CHS Memorial Scholarship in existence.
