South Delta Secondary is celebrating its 40th anniversary with a special event next month.
A soccer tournament (for all ages and abilities), carnival and barbecue will be held at the Tsawwassen high school during the day while an adult mixer will take place in the evening on Saturday, May 10.
"It's kind of like a mini reunion in many respects," said SDSS teacher Suzan Olsen.
She hopes people will use the event as an opportunity to reconnect with schoolmates and former teachers.
Close to 80 former teachers have been contacted and a lot of them will make the effort to attend, Olsen said.
The high school has changed over the years, including a $5-million expansion that was completed by the start of 2004 and the current $10-million seismic upgrade.
Any former staff or alumni who hasn't seen the school in a while, "will barely recognize the place," said Olsen, noting there is a new science wing as well.
The afternoon portion of the event starts at 1 p.m. while the adult mixer goes from 7 to midnight in the school's cafeteria. There is no cost to attend. The adult mixer will have a pay bar and live entertainment.
