We offer a special THANK YOU to these great classes from the 1960’s!!

Their generosity helps offset the cost of the dinner this year.

And Get This…

PSAA Officers and Board Members have been working on a long-range plan to keep the Association viable into the future. As banquet attendance decreases over the coming years, we want to find ways to join other Pierceton organizations in celebrating our common histories and meeting needs in the community. You’ll want to attend the banquet this year to hear about our plans and offer your suggestions about how we can proceed.

PLAN TO JOIN US JUNE 22! 

Don’t worry. We’re not going to halt the annual banquets! In fact, we hope to make them bigger. We’re just looking for ways to become a more integral part of the Pierceton community.

PAST BANQUETS

2023 Alumni Banquet Took Us Back to “Those Days”

The PSAA Banquet Committee led by Mrs. Deb Trump Thomas (Class of 1974) hosted a delightful evening of great food, exciting games, and entertainment by the North Manchester Civic Band reminded us that “Those were the days, my friend.” The Pierceton School cafeteria staff provided food for the evening. Here are some pictures that prove the point.

Alumni scored prizes for various fun categories called out by Master of Ceremonies Lew Collier (Class of 1968), followed by drawings for everything from gift certificates to homemade pies. What a night!!

 

2022 Alumni Banquet Raised the Bar

The Class of 1972 from Whitko High School hosted a great night of food and fun.  Their theme was “That 70’s Class”.  There were many items from the 1970’s era in the main hall as well as many raffle items.  Bob Evans catered the meal, and the Brown family served more than 150 alumni.

Hats off to the Pierceton Junior Class of 1971, who became the first class to be graduated from Whitko High Schooling 1972. Thanks to these folks for a great evening and a fun time for the alumni and friends of Pierceton School.

 

2021 Alumni Banquet was a SMASH!

The Classes of 1970 and 1971 came together to host a knock-out evening of fun, food, and fellowship for the 128th annual Pierceton School Alumni Banquet on Saturday, June 26, 2021. Although government dictates prevented us from holding our annual event in 2020, the two classes planned and implemented an enjoyable and very safe banquet experience. Alumni got the chance to meet and greet old classmates from forever-ago and catch up on activities from the past two years.

The caterer provided an outstanding meal and members of the Stan (Class of 1968) and Elaine Carlin (Class of 1970) Brown family served 220 guests in a cafeteria food line that was fast, simple, and safe.

The Class of 1971 was the last class to be graduated from Pierceton High School, but don’t worry. The Pierceton students of the Whitko graduating Class of 1972 have taken up the mantle and will be hosting the 2022 banquet!

Here’s a little taste of the evening’s activities as we relished the chance to be together again!

2019 Alumni Banquet

The Class of 1969 hosted the 125th annual Pierceton School Alumni Banquet on June 22, 2019. The night featured an extended opening time to view the iconic PHS Senior Class pictures, a chance to review old friendships and meet fellow Cubs, great food, lively banter, and an introduction to the new Pierceton Elementary School principal.

2018 Alumni Banquet

The Class of 1968 presented an incredible evening of fellowship, fun, and food at the 124th Pierceton School Alumni Banquet on June 23, 2018 at the new Pierceton Elementary School. We had 245 registrations for the event and guests enjoyed a great time with everything seeming to go off without a hitch. Congratulations to this fine group of kids.

Here’s a little walk down the memory lane of that great evening.

2017 Alumni Banquet

The Class of 1967 rocked it on June 24, 2017 at the annual Pierceton School Alumni Banquet. Here’s a little walk down the memory lane of that great evening.
