Welcome to the Plant City High Classes Of 1969 - 1972 web site.  These were the last 4 years of "The Planters".  This site was created to help promote, celebrate and reconnect with classmates. Your participation is essential for it to succeed. We need your photos, updates, and memories to enhance the site. Your fellow classmates will enjoy hearing about you. Even if you didn't graduate,  haven't attended a reunion, nor kept in touch since high school, we ask that you please take the time to update your profile and maybe add a photo or two.  It is free to join,  password protected and only for our classmates viewing.  Take a moment to review the "missing classmates" list and pass along any contact info that you are aware of.  Your additions will make this site fun, interesting and complete.

UPDATES ON CLASS OF 1971 REUNION 

We are excited to see the response to our 50th Reunion scheduled for Saturday, Sept 25th.

If you're in town Friday, September 24th, we'll be at the 1916 Irish Pub (2309 Thonotosassa Rd, PC) for an informal get together to catch up starting around 6:30 pm.  Food and drink will be available for purchase.

Ben Sharpton will be making our reunion video. He woud like to have more pictures from classmates together over the years.  If you have pictures to share email them to: pchs71reunion@gmail.com asap.

Some classmates have asked about possible actions that may have to be taken if COVID surges continue.  IF COVID mandates become an issue and we need to call off the reunion, the event will be cancelled rather than postponed and all money collected will be refunded.  We are working closely with our venue to make sure we follow all protocols required by our state and we may add some of our own. Please be assured your safety is a top priority and we welcome your choices to protect yourself with the use of masks, hand sanitizers and protocols you wish to individually follow to stay safe.  As we learn of COVID procedures used by the venue, we will update you. 

Reminder RSVP deadline is September 10th.

In our COVID world we are reminded daily of the value of family and friends.  We cherish our memories together and look forward to celebrating the BEST classmates and Class!

See you on September 24-25!
