Cooper High School Class of 1971 — 55th Reunion!

October 3, 2026 • 4:00–10:00 PM

Abilene Country Club

It’s time to come home again, Cougars.

Our 55th reunion is just around the corner, and this year we’re keeping things simple, relaxed, and all about connection.

Unlike our 50th, there’s no program, no schedule, no formal events — just plenty of time to visit, laugh, share stories, and enjoy being together again.

We’ll have:

- A full buffet dinner

- A cash bar

- A comfortable space to catch up with old friends and make new memories

Whether you’ve been to every reunion or haven’t made one yet, we’d love to see you there. Let’s celebrate 55 years with the people who shared the start of the journey.

Save the date and spread the word — Cooper High School Class of ’71, we can’t wait to reconnect.

Stay tuned for more information about formal registration which will be posted here next week.

I really hate to ask this, but in preparation of our 55th reunion, I'm beginning to work on our Class remembrance video.

I never want to miss anyone so I'm asking everyone to let me know if you know of someone who has passed. You can private message me or email caseyhales@gmail.com.

Even if you're not sure of someone, let me know as I can research it and possibly find something.

They may not be at the reunion physically, but we can honor them as a part of our gathering.

Here is the Memorial Video we played at the recent reunion. 

Streamed video from Saturday night's reunion at the NCCIL. 

You can fast forward and rewind.
