Upcoming Reunions

 

 

KBHSAA is happy to serve as your resource for finding the most current information for upcoming Kenosha/Bradford High School Class Reunions, which are usually held every 5 years.  We rely upon Reunion Committees to provide information on upcoming reunions as it becomes available, so we may post it here... notices can range from a simple "Save the Date" message to the complete details of the fun events your committee has planned.  

We will also post the dates for casual get togethers, such as the more-frequently-held Class Luncheons, which do so much to perpetuate the lifelong connections between Bradford classmates.  

If you don't see the reunion or get together on which you are working listed below, please Contact Us.
