Lakeside/St. Nicholas Reunion Reception: 1s and 6s

For the Class of 1976, Reunion Weekend kicks off on Thursday, June 4, with a special invitation for classmates celebrating their 50th reunion to join us as honored guests on campus. The event will include remarks from the Head of School, a campus tour, and a light lunch with beverages for alums and their +1s. The suggested attire is smart casual.

Offered as part of Reunion Weekend, the Head of School Reunion Welcome consists of a brief program featuring an update from head of school Kai Bynum on Lakeside’s recent achievements and future goals. The program will also include special recognition of reunion milestone celebrations and acknowledgment of our generous donors. We hope to also invite alums to tour Lakeside’s newest building, the T.J. Vassar ’68 Center for the Sciences and Humanities. This event will take the place of formal remarks traditionally delivered during the evening reunion reception.

An outdoor reception where alumni and their guests can relax, catch up with friends, enjoy delicious food and drinks, play lawn games, and take class photos—no formal program, just a great time together on Lakeside’s beautiful campus. Lakeside-hosted reunion events are adult-only gatherings.

Individual Class Gatherings will kick-off immediately following the on-campus reunion celebration and will be hosted throughout the weekend by your classmates. Class planners will reach out with more details as planning progresses.

We invite alums celebrating their 50th reunion to join us at the 2026 Commencement to participate in a time-honored tradition: leading this year’s graduating class in the commencement procession on the Upper School Quad. Prior to the procession, we’ll gather in McKay Chapel. Lakeside will provide robes for members of the Class of 1976. Afterward, you’re welcome to stay and enjoy the ceremony, or you may retrieve your belongings and depart at your convenience.
