Some weekends remind you exactly where you come from. 💛🩵💛🩵💛

What started with laughs, hugs, and memories at our Friday Meet & Greet rolled into an unforgettable Sneaker Ball Saturday night. From seeing classmates for the first time in years to dancing like it was 2001 all over again, this weekend was everything we hoped it would be—and more.

To every classmate who traveled near and far, every teacher and staff member who joined us, and every committee member who worked behind the scenes to make this happen—thank you. Your presence is what made this reunion special.

Twenty-five years later, the love, the laughter, and the Raider pride are still strong. Until next time… Class of 2001, y’all showed up and showed out. 🫶🏾

We did the research. We made the call. We booked the experience. And @TheAllureBoxATL absolutely delivered. 📸✨

The magazine cover experience was a huge hit at the Mays 2G1 Sneaker Ball. From the poses to the energy, every shot looked like it belonged on the cover. 🔥

And the photo box? Let’s just say it stayed busy all night long. 😂🩵💛

Thank you for helping us create memories our classmates will be talking about for years to come.

👟✨ WHAT A NIGHT. ✨👟

The 2G1 Sneaker Ball did not disappoint.

From the moment the doors opened, the energy was incredible. Classmates showed up, showed out, and reminded us exactly why the Class of 2001 is one of a kind.

The food was amazing. The sneakers were on point. The guest speakers brought the memories, laughter, and inspiration. Most importantly, the love in the room was undeniable.

Seeing classmates reconnect, celebrate, and create new memories together made all the planning worth it.

Thank you to everyone who attended, supported, volunteered, traveled, and helped make this reunion weekend special. We appreciate each and every one of you.

And trust us… this is only a preview. 👀

More photos, videos, and unforgettable moments are on the way.

Since people are asking about attire (the day before 🫠🤨🤷🏾‍♀️)

🚫 You DO NOT need a tux.
🚫 You DO NOT need a gown.
🚫 You DO NOT need to buy anything new.

✅ Wear what makes you feel confident.
✅ Dress it up or keep it casual.
✅ Come comfortable and ready to have a good time.

A suit.
A dress.
A jumpsuit.
A blazer.
A nice shirt and jeans.

Whatever your style is…

PUT THAT SH*T ON.

The only thing we’re spotlighting tonight?

👟 THE SNEAKERS ARE THE STAR. 👟

Your sneakers don’t have to be expensive.
They don’t have to be rare.
They don’t have to match anyone else’s.

Just wear YOUR favorite pair.

Tonight is about celebrating 25 years, reconnecting with classmates, and enjoying the moment.

No pressure.
No competition.
No fashion show.

Just good vibes, great classmates, and great memories.
See y’all tonight. (Paid registries)🩵💛🖤

🩵💛 FIVE DAYS AWAY, RAIDERS! 🩵💛

At this point, the group chats are moving faster than the school hallways between classes. 😂

✔ Outfits ordered
✔ Sneakers secured
✔ Babysitters booked
✔ Memories loading…

In just FIVE days, we’ll be back together celebrating 25 years of friendship, laughter, growth, and all the stories that started on The Hill.

Some of us haven’t seen each other in years.
Some of us still talk every day.
And some of us are about to realize we really have been out of high school for a quarter of a century. 😩🤣

Whether you’re pulling up to Cascade, the Sneaker Ball, or both, get ready for a weekend full of nostalgia, reconnecting, and creating new memories with old friends.

Who’s ready to roll out? Drop a 🩵, 💛, or 🛼 below and let us know you’re coming!

👟✨ SNEAKER BALL RULE ✨👟

Your sneakers don’t have to cost $500.

They just have to make a statement.

Whether you’re pulling out the grails, the classics, or your favorite pair that turns heads every time you walk in the room, this is your night to shine.

Dress it up. Lace them up. Make it memorable.
