Rochester John Marshall High School Class of 1975 50th Reunion

Dates: Friday, August 22nd and Saturday, August 23rd, 2025

Your JM Class of 1975 Reunion Committee hope this invitation finds you doing well. Amazingly, it will be 50 years since our young selves walked out of our beloved John Marshall halls as students for the last time. Our last effort at a reunion, our 45th, was interrupted by the Covid epidemic. So, we hope you are excited for this upcoming event. We hope you can make the time and effort to come and catch up with your classmates. 

An effort has been made to keep this a simple, non-formal affair, and use economic sense in our planning decisions. So, here are the details:
