The purpose of the North Central Soulful Reunion is to allow the 12 to 15% of the Black & Brown Alums of North Central High School to come together and reunite with friends that attended school the entire 4 years we were there instead of just those in our specific class year.  To reunite with friends we grew up with in our communities that may be younger or older than us but still attended North Central or at some point attended Washington Township schools without the limitation of a graduation class or even graduating from North Central because sometimes our friends transferred or moved away.  We even included people who may have hung out with North Central Alums but never attended the school because they were also a part of our high school experience.  The mix of all this goodness makes up our Soulful Alums and produces a very festive gathering.  We have even had people in attendance that graduated from North Central High School as early as the 70’s all the way to the new millennium.  It is nice to watch people walking through the park introducing themselves to each other; it is like family meeting new family members.  There are generations of North Central grads at the event.  Grandparents bring their children and grandchildren that were North Central Alums or attendees.
