West Phoenix High School
Class of 1977
40th Reunion Pics October, 2017
Below are most of the pictures from the reunion. There are a few more that we will get uploaded this week. I will be creating a Shutterfly book in the next few weeks and will link it to the site but in the meantime. . .
We didn't take the picture until later and some people had left--we are so sorry--but look through all the pictures because there should be pictures of everyone who attended--just not in the group shot. We won't make that mistake at the 45th! Our new slogan SEE YOU IN 2022!
