About the Reunion
Our story, our committee, our memories
Our Story
In 1976 — America's bicentennial year — we walked out of Denbigh High School and into the rest of our lives. While the nation celebrated 200 years, we were just getting started. We were Patriots then, and we're Patriots still.
Through careers, families, moves across the country, and everything life has thrown our way — the bond we share as the Class of '76 has never faded. Now, 50 years later, it's time to come home.
This reunion is more than a party — it's a chance to reconnect, remember, and celebrate the journey. Whether you've stayed in Newport News or traveled the world, this night is for you. We're gathering to share stories, laugh about the old days, and honor the classmates who shaped our lives. Because some things — like being a Denbigh Patriot — never change.
Organizing Committee
A dedicated group of classmates has been working hard to make this reunion unforgettable. Want to help? Get in touch.
