 Rockford West High School Class of 1964 - Latest News 06-22-2013 - Reunion, 600 miles from nowhere Thought you might be amused by this chance encounter. On a January 2013 cruise to the Galapagos Islands, my wife Karen and I struck up a conversation with the lady sitting next to us on the Zodiac that was ferrying us back from an island excursion. She was from Idaho, but mentioned growing up in the Midwest. After a "me, too", we began narrowing it down to Rockford, then Rockford West, then Class of '64. It was Claudia Ware Kennedy. We enjoyed meeting her husband Ron and sharing lots of high-school stories during the rest of the week-long cruise. We met Claudia and Ron again the day after the cruise, when we were all on the same flight to Peru.  03-19-2011 - Lowes Grant To Refurbish West The Auditorium at West will get a face lift in coming months thanks to a grant from the Lowes educational foundation.

Yes, it has been 70 years since West opened its doors. We need your help in promoting this event to your class mates. The afternoon 1:00-5:00pm will include: > A visual historic presentation of the building process which includes the design by architect Jesse Barloga (Contrary to general opinion West’s design is different than East’s) will be presented by architect Gary Anderson. > West High will tell all in a speech written for her by a proud West High graduate and author Ray Paul “54”. > A music program will be presented for your enjoyment. > Meeting, greeting with school mates and refreshments. > Memorabilia Room will be open for your perusal. > The Memorial Garden on the front lawn is a “must”. We are requesting each graduating class to assist with the financial commitment by contributing $100.00 from your reunion committee. The budget includes promotional efforts, printing of programs, nametags, posters, refreshments, etc. We also need 80 ambassadors to welcome guests for 1 hour time slots—20 people each hour 1-5pm. Are you and some of your friends available? Please let us know? The check for $100.00 should be made out to West High 70th Celebration and sent to Carol Parker, 653 Schauer Lane, Rockford, Illinois, 61107.
