REUNIONS
REUNIONS
The planning for 2024 has begun!!
All reunions for 2021 were on hold until the State of California allowed larger gatherings, due to the Pandemic and Variant issues. 2022 was a "catch up" year where many classes got together!
Several classes have already committed to host reunions in 2024, so check below!
​
Several classes are holding off until one of their 5 year reunion years
2000 in 2025 for their 25th; 1981 in 2026 for their 45th.
​
Please contact your class representative to give them your email or notify us through the helixalumni@yahoo.com for more information. Most classes have FaceBook pages, Instagram accounts and representative emails. Keep checking back here for updates!

May 19, 2021 from Liz, Class of 1981:
"Hey Helix Class of 81 Hello Everyone- Lori Erwin Ferrigno and I- (Lizard Verduzco) have been talking about our 40th Reunion lately. Since so many people are still having financial hardships and or not ready to socialize in big groups...we were thinking about waiting. Also venues are more expensive trying to make up for revenue that was lost. Lori and I have sat down and weighed it out. The 45 will be bigger, better and we hope everyone will be back on their feet by then. With that being said, if anyone has idea for a virtual get-together and would like to host and put it out for all of us...please give me a call *619-339-1086..I'm totally not that computer savvy to do it It's very disappointing because Lori and I live for planning the best reunions for you guys!! Love to all * cross posted Helix 81 page and Helix Alumni pages. Please pass on to anyone that might not be on fb. Thanks and miss you guys!!"

Hi everyone!
We'll be hosting 'Helix's Class of 2011 11-year reunion' at Helix Brewing Company in La Mesa on Saturday, June 25th from 6-9pm.
We're super excited to have everyone come together, and we can't wait for you to join us next month! Please make sure to spread the word to your fellow Scottie!
Questions:
*I'm in - what are the next steps? Please RSVP via email, FB Helix High School - Class of 2011 or IG (@helixreunion2011) so we can have an accurate headcount for the event.
*Can I bring a +1? Yes! Please RSVP for you and your guest via email, FB or IG.
*I'm undecided on whether I want to join, is it fine if I decide to come the day of? Not a problem! As an effort to be inclusive to those who don't want to commit to a hefty ticket price or those worried about changing COVID-19 restrictions, we will NOT be selling tickets/wristbands in order to gain entry to the reunion.
*Will I be responsible for my own tab? Yes.
*Can I bring liquor, beer, wine, outside alcoholic beverages into the brewery? No, due to Helix Brewing's type of licensing, no other alcoholic beverages are allowed at the brewery besides the beer that they manufacture.
*What food options are there? The Kokopelli's Food Truck will be on site until 9pm! They serve burgers, tacos, quesadillas, etc.
*Is the event indoors only? No, we'll be reserving a portion of the outdoor space for our event.
