CHS REUNION PICNIC - 2026!
Check out our photos and the veterans interviews
We had a great time at our picnic this year, and the photos from the day have been uploaded to this site. Thanks to Beverly Maxwell Warfield, CHS 1972, for taking these! You can also listen to the veterans interviews the Veterans Breakfast Club recorded with seven Clairton veterans here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfNQblqXFBIc.
We hope you enjoy these. We'll keep posting more about Clairton history through the year. Stay in touch!
Something new for this year!
Check out this lovely and cute Clairton bear lovingly crafted by CHS 1971 grad and reunion picnic committee member Mary Ann Sekeres-Guthrie. Part of our picnic will be an auction for one of these. You will have to be there to try to win it!
More information on Clairton veterans interviews
Clairton veterans interviews and historical artifacts Friday and Saturday!
We're finalizing plans for the Clairton history event on Friday, Sept. 4 from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. at the Clairton Municipal Building, 551 Ravensburg Boulevard. Clairton artifacts – photos, memorabilia and more – will be on view. The Veterans Breakfast Club, a Pittsburgh nonprofit organization dedicated to connecting veterans with their fellow Americans through inspiring stories of service, will record interviews with Clairton natives about their military experiences. More interviews will take place Saturday at the park. If you’re interested in recording your story, please respond send an email to us at allchsclassreunions@gmail.com. Appointments will be scheduled.
We’re asking if you have Clairton photographs, yearbooks, souvenir booklets and other memorabilia to donate, bring it with you either day. We’ll make arrangements to scan them if you want them back. We are particularly looking for actual photographs of the high school. If you have any questions, send us an email.
Please share this information with your fellow classmates and Clairton friends. Thank you!
Alumni: Register early and get a free gift!
We have an incentive for you to register early for our Clairton High School Reunion Picnic on Saturday, Sept. 5: a commemorative gift created just for alumni. The deadline is Monday, Aug. 10, and you can either mail in the form below or register online. This will help us start posting the names of those attending faster, too. And part of our Clairton heritage is making sure we have plenty of food that day, and early registrants ensure we order enough from our caterer, Carriage Inn of Elizabeth. You'll pick up the gift at the park on picnic day.
Please share and spread the word with your CHS classmates and other alumni.
If you have any questions, please send them to our email: allchsclassreunions@gmail.com.
Get ready to celebrate with us!
Before you know it will be Labor Day weekend and time for our Clairton High School Reunion Picnic on Saturday, Sept. 5. We’ll gather as usual at 11 a.m., and our meal will be served at 12:15 p.m.
First, good news: We know the costs of everything has risen. But not for this picnic, thanks to our past fundraising efforts. The cost will remain the same – $25 for advance registration and $30 for walk-ins the day of the picnic. It includes a hot lunch with side dishes and a variety of desserts and covers our other picnic expenses.
Second, what is planned so far: We’ll be renting a big tent for classes or groups of friends or families that want to sit together; we just ask for a donation to help defray that cost. We’re bringing back the basket raffles and a basket of cheer in addition to our share the wealth raffle, and we will be selling some Clairton High School pillows.
Third, a special Clairton project: We’re working with others on a Clairton history project underway in the city. If you have Clairton history items, including anything from your high school years, please bring them along! This will include an event on Friday, Sept. 4 at the city building. Watch for this site, your email if we have it and our Facebook page for more details.
If you want to reserve space in the big tent, have questions or want to volunteer to help us with the picnic, just send an email to allchsclassreunions@gmail.com.
