high school reunion

Graduates meet again

A high school reunion is a gathering of former classmates, typically organized at regular intervals after graduation—ten years, twenty years, and so on.

These events mix nostalgia with curiosity about how people turned out: I'm dreading my high school reunion.

The occasion often prompts reflection on youthful identities versus adult selves.
