About Lake Park Reunion

It started with a Facebook group and a Google Sheet

When the Lake Park High School Class of 2006 started planning our 20-year reunion, we did what everyone does—Facebook group and a shared Google Sheet for contact info. It worked, but it got us thinking. There had to be a better way to organize this. Something more secure for sharing personal info. Something more organized where details don't get lost in the scroll. Something built specifically for people who share this one thing in common: Lake Park.

What if the reunion never had to end?

Here's the thing about reunions: you spend months planning them, show up for one night, have a great time catching up with people you haven't seen in years, and then... everyone goes back to their lives. Maybe you exchange numbers with a few people. Maybe you actually text them. Probably you don't.

We started thinking: what if the reunion wasn't just an event? What if it was more like an ongoing thing? A place to share old photos when you find them in a box in your parents' garage. A way to actually stay in touch without the awkwardness of sliding into someone's DMs after fifteen years. Somewhere between a yearbook that never closes and a group chat that doesn't blow up your phone.

But wait, what about...

Once we started building this for the Class of 2006, we realized something. High school friendships don't follow graduation years. Your best friend from sophomore year might have moved away junior year. The person you sat next to in freshman biology graduated in 2005. Your younger sibling and their friends were just as much a part of your Lake Park experience.

And what about the Class of 2005 planning their reunion? Or 2007? Everyone reinventing the same wheel, fighting with the same Google Sheets, losing the same important details in the same Facebook comment threads.

Many reunions, one reunion

That's how Lake Park Reunion became Lake Park Reunion—not just "Class of 2006 Reunion," but a place for anyone who walked those halls. Whether you graduated in 1990 or 2020. Whether you were there all four years or just passed through. If Lake Park was part of your story, you're welcome here.

You can use it to organize an actual reunion event—we've got ticketing and everything. But you can also just use it to find old friends, share memories, or see what people are up to now. No pressure to plan anything. No obligation to show up anywhere. Just a way to keep the door open.

Why invite-only?

We keep it invite-only for the same reason you don't hand out your phone number to strangers. This is a space for people who actually have a connection to Lake Park. Current members can invite people they know—classmates, friends, teachers, coaches. It keeps things authentic and keeps out the noise.

The bottom line

Lake Park Reunion started because we needed a better way to plan a party. It turned into something more—a place to reconnect with people who shared a weird, specific, formative chunk of your life. Not everyone wants that, and that's fine. But if you do, we built this for you. Plus, as usual, we had to show the Class of 2005 how it's done.

See you around, Lancers.
