Announcing our 60th reunion:
The weekend of September 18, 2027
Now here’s a date to anticipate – imagine getting together with your buddies and celebrating 60 years of adulthood! So that you have plenty of time to plan your future travels, family events, important appointments and the like, your ever-cheerful class planning committee selected the weekend of Sept. 18, 2027 for our next big get-together, in downtown Birmingham.
So, now you can let the kids and grandkids know that you’ll be unavailable for weddings, graduations, babysitting, and the like, as you’ll be on a time-travel cruise with your high school chums during the memorable weekend of Sept. 18, 2027! More announcements will be forthcoming, in due time (say, in 2025 or 2026), so keep a lookout on your inbox and in your class homepage, Seaholm67.com

The Highlander - Archives for the Class of 1967
Attention, all wanabe time travelers! You can go back in time, to your salad days at Seaholm! Here is the first of our series of occasional scans of our noble school weekly newspaper. And how ever did the intrepid Highlander staff content-create week in and week out, while juggling classes, home work, clubs, church, volunteer work? Our hats are off you!
Now settle back, forget the present state of the world, and go back to those halcyon days of your youth, by clicking below:
The Highlander - Jan. 13, 1967
(It seems that Jim Tripp happily found a whole bundle of Highlanders - some 40 0f them, and he forwarded them on to us. Many thanks, Jim!)
We'll be adding additional 1964-1967 Highlander issues as we can - our goal is one a month. And, if you want to see the Highlander from other years (all the way back to 1939), you can click on the link below. But don't expect to see our class years there - for some reason we were left out! We're trying to address that problem by posting what we can on our own website.

A message from Birmingham Public Schools: They are seeking material from SHS alumni for an film documenting the first 75 years of Birmingham Seaholm High School.

"Greetings Seaholm Alumni!
In the fall of 2026, we will be celebrating the 75th anniversary of Seaholm High School, which originally opened as Birmingham High School in 1951. As part of our commemorative activities, we will be producing a documentary film. We are seeking alumni to share stories, photographs, and personal anecdotes from their time at Seaholm. Our goal is to capture the distinctive spirit of each decade and highlight significant historical events that occurred during that time. If you would like to contribute your stories, ideas, or photos, please email them to Seaholm75@birmingham.k12.mi.us "
Thanks to Nancy Theodoroff Townsend for bringing this to our attention!

Our Departed Classmates: a video tribute
Here is an updated video tribute to our departed classmates. This will be on display at Reunion 2023, in memory of those who can no longer be with us.
The video lasts 15 1/2 minutes, with 9 seconds devoted to each individual, but you can scroll through more quickly, if you desire (just hover your mouse over the timing ribbon at the bottom, and grab and move the red dot when it appears). And you'll probably want to maximize the picture for your device by going to Full Screen Mode (click on the little broken square in the bottom right hand corner).
Just click on this link: https://youtu.be/8MA5TLhUS9E
