All-Class All-Friends Reunion

Join the Minnetonka Alumni Association on Saturday, July 27, 2024 from 4-10 p.m. at the All-Class All-Friends Reunion in Downtown Excelsior for a day filled with fun, friendship and fantastic food!

The first All-School All-Class Reunion (as it was called at the time) was held in July 2002 to honor the 50th anniversary of Minnetonka High School. It brought more than 3,000 alumni together to celebrate the school community and raise money for a Fine Arts Endowment. The event was so successful in both building community and raising money to support the District that the Minnetonka Alumni Association decided to hold one every four years.

“I’m thrilled to welcome everyone to this year’s All-Class All-Friends Reunion,” said Marietta Jacobsen ‘70, President of the Minnetonka Alumni Association. “It’s a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with old friends, make new ones and support our beloved teachers and students in the Minnetonka Public Schools community.”

The Minnetonka Alumni Association, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, is dedicated to supporting Minnetonka Public Schools and the alumni community. Funds raised at the All-Class All-Friends Reunion will be used to:

  • Support the Minnetonka Public Schools Foundation Teacher Grant program in the areas of fine arts, science & technology and student well-being.
  • Hold future community-wide events, such as the annual Minnetonka Alumni Awards brunch.

By attending, you help to support continued excellence within the Minnetonka Public School District and strengthen the broader alumni community.
