Have you ever visited your high school again after graduating?

My bff from high school is a public school teacher now. To celebrate World Teacher’s Day, all public school teachers in my city gathered today in, guess what, in our old high school! She sent me pictures of our old classroom and I felt like crying. Lol High school was perfect for me because I met my bff. We were classmates from first year to fourth year so we basically spent our teenage years together. We could have been classmates in college but we wanted different universities. Are you still friends with your high school buddies? Photo is of the famous eagle in our high school where we used to hang out.

I passed high school in 1993 so it's been 30 years. I have the contact numbers of all my classmates and we chat on WhatsApp group but we never got a chance to meet with each other as most of us now live in different cities and are too much busy in our lives so have no time to meet.

I’ve been back to my high school many times. And I am still best friends with my two besties I met in high school. They both live far away now, but we talk all the time on the phone or through social media. And we try to get together in person at least once a year, if not more.

My daughter went to the same high school. I went back several times. I showed her where my locker was and all of that. Also, when I was pregnant with her my friend was also pregnant at the same time. She and I had gone to junior high together. We went back there and visited with our favorite teacher. He laughed so hard and said that we always did do things together.

I never had buddies in high school as most of the students were military kids and the student turnover was frequent not giving me a chance to actually get to know anyone. I see my old HS whenever I happen to travel down that road but have no desire to visit within.

Oh, sorry about that. Most of the military families I have met only stayed here for perhaps 3 years then they would move away so I usually any students I would get to know would be gone within 3 years and new kids would be in school with me. I never actually got to know anyone very well.
