When is the last time you stepped foot inside Coeur d'Alene High School? June 1988? Would you like a chance to roam around the place and reminisce? Show your family where you went to school? Did you know that they remodeled the place and THE PITS ARE GONE? :(  In the 700 building there are now doors and walls! Remember sitting in amphitheater type "rooms" with partitions up like we were in a huge cubicle? There are also no breezeways between classes now! Winters were always tough because we'd wear coats to school, leave them in our lockers in the commons and go back and forth to class without coats in the cold. The Idaho school designed by a California architect. :)

Want to check it out in person? Now is your chance!

Thursday, July 3rd from 10am-2pm

It is the only time that we could squeeze it in over the holiday weekend so our apologies if it does not work into your travel plans. Thank you to Kris Hinz who made the special arrangements for us!

Kris will be at the school to "host" and has requested additional help. Could we get some volunteers to host the open house with Kris? Would be great to have a couple other "locals" help her out.

If you are interested in attending the CHS Open House and getting a tour, please RSVP on the website. This is simply to get an idea of how many are interested.

Thank you! 

PREVIOUS OPEN HOUSE:

The high school did an open house for "CHS 100th Birthday Party Weekend" in July 2005. It was a lot of fun. There are many changes. You can see some of the pictures in the photo album on the site.

OUR FIRST GET TOGETHER IN 10 YEARS!!

Yes, it is on a Thursday night, however, it is long weekend so it is not a school night!  Hopefully everyone can make it!

We have reserved the basement at Brix (a/k/a "The Club" or "The Underground" for Thursday night from 7-10pm. This event is for 1988 classmates and significant others only. After 10pm, other Cd'A classes and friends in town are more than welcome to join us. We actually have the place reserved all night if we wanted to stay, however, the get together will officially be from 7-10pm.

Grab dinner before you come - we'll only have hors d'oeuvres at this event. There will be a no host bar (you pay as you indulge) and we will have our own bartenders downstairs. The underground is also equipped with a full bar, stage and dance floor so get ready to flashback to the 80s for some dancing! Kelly Gonser, you will have to get everyone on the dance floor! "Chaka Khan, Chaka Kahn….." (For the Lakes folks that didn't know, Kelly always livened up our Canfield "After School Dances" (which were from 2:30-4pm))!

Dress Code:  Casual - Whatever you'd wear to a bar in the summer! 

Tickets are $15/person.

Donnie Bryntesen had a great idea.  We are going to be in the Cd'A 4th of July Parade!  
Our float will be dedicated to our entire class with a special tribute to classmates lost and classmates served in the armed services.  Donnie is heading up the entire project and is getting the flat bed  donated, having high school cheerleaders make banners and getting candy donated to throw to the crowd.  Thank you Donnie!

If you'd like to participate, please RSVP.  Donnie is also having t-shirts made and will cost about $10 which can pay for on Thursday at Brix or Friday morning at the parade.  If you'd like a t-shirt, please indicate which size (S, M, L, XL, XXL).
