HHS Class of 1984 Enjoys 40th Reunion

Thanks to Priscilla Hapner

The 1984 Hillsboro High School reunion held its 40th reunion on Saturday, September 21 at the Hillsboro Orpheum.

Guests of honor included retired English teacher Joan Winner, art teacher Mary Gardener, math teacher Diana Harvey, psychology teacher Bill Alexander and his wife Carleen, industrial arts teacher JC Bihl and his wife, English teacher Leona Bihl, and government teacher Tom Barton.

Class members shared their meal with the hardworking firefighters, who are now stationed at what used to be Washington Elementary School, where many of the class of 1984 attended fourth and fifth grade before it was demolished. A smaller group of the class was given a tour of the “new” high school earlier in the day.
