Welcome to the Ames High Class of 1982 website.

AHS Class of 1982 - 40th Reunion

Was June 24th & 25th, 2022

On behalf of all the organizers, thank you to everyone who has registered to attend one or more of the many events on June 24-25. 

Below are a few reminders and announcements. For a list of alumni who are registered to attend (sadly, it doesn’t list spouses/guests),  go to Classmate Profiles and click on each of the events. 

As you may know and can see from the Missing Classmates page on the website, a number of our classmates have passed away since graduation.  In order to remember these friends we will have a bulletin board set up at dinner with their names.  Feel free to bring a photo or note or memento to honor and remember them.

We look forward to seeing you soon!

Mark J & Betsy C.

We had to cap registration for this event at 100 people due to site regulations. However, if the weather is nice and we can flow outside, there is always room for anyone who wants to join the class for a drink.  The dress code is casual.
