Washington-Lee High School ~ Class of 1971 Website
Welcome to our 50th reunion
Virtual Edition
We’re glad you’re here! Since it was not considered safe to gather in person in 2021, we’ve tried to recreate the reunion experience digitally until we can meet again, face to face. The idea was to fill the gap until we can get together for handshakes and hugs that we are planning for October 7-9, 2022. We hope you enjoy learning about what your classmates have been up to over the past half century and reconnecting online.
