Welcome to the registration page for the ’70@70 50th Anniversary Reunion of the Wichita High School West Class of 1970! Our reunion is scheduled for October 20-22, 2022. Our '70 classmates are turning 70 years old this year, and since we had to postpone our original 50th reunion, we decided to call this one the ’70@70 Reunion. 

Please read through the information below, then REGISTER  at the top of this page.  We need counts of people planning to attend each activity - so, PLEASE register for EACH activity in which you are planning to participate.  If you need assistance with registration or have any questions, please use the 'Contact Us' button on the home page to reach out for help.

Please join us at this special reunion, whether it’s your first reunion or you’ve attended many before.  No matter what - this is the Big One - our 50th! We want as many classmates to attend as possible. And we want folks to get reacquainted, tell stories about their high school days, and enjoy the food, music, and dancing. Visit with your classmates from elementary, junior high, and high school and take home good memories of this special event. We hope you can come!

Because of privacy concerns, we will not be publishing a class directory anymore. Our website, wichitahighschoolwest1970.org, allows classmates who have joined to contact others who have joined without sharing contact information. That’s one of the benefits of joining the website! You can also post photos, especially candid shots from this upcoming reunion, on the website as well. 

We hope to see you in October!
The ’70@70 50th Reunion Committee

COST: $19.70 per person!

As you know, our 50th reunion was postponed from October of 2020 due to the pandemic. The reunion committee had already asked classmates to donate to the reunion fund to help offset expenses, which we will now use for this belated reunion. Thanks to those donations, we were able to keep the cost of the reunion to $19.70 per person. Get it? Class of 1970 = $19.70 per ticket! Because we are able to offer such a low price for the entire reunion, there will be no option to pay for only a single night’s events. We have checked other reunion websites, and most are charging $50-$80 per person! 

All events (except golfing and Pickleball) are included in the $19.70 ticket price!

YOU MUST PURCHASE AN ALL ACTIVITIES TICKET TO ATTEND ANY EVENT

PAYMENT. You may pay online with a credit/debit card or send us a check. Either way, you need to register (see above). Sending your payment by check saves us 5.9% in card fees. If you pay via credit card you will receive a receipt via email.  If you pay by check you will receive an email with mailing instructions and later your receipt via email. Deadline for mailing checks (so that we receive them by the cut-off deadline): Monday, October 10. Deadline for paying on-line: Sunday night, October 16.  THESE DEADLINES ARE FIRM! No walk-up registration / payments will be accepted.  All reunion registrations must be paid in advance in order to get an accurate count for food and events.  Thank you for your understanding.
