HOMECOMING 2010 TO BE HELD APRIL 23-24

Make your plans now to join fellow Technites and faculty members at the Homecoming 2010 festivities scheduled for Friday April 23rd and Saturday April 24th.

You will get to retrace the steps of your high school glory days as you walk the hallways of Tech and share old stories with classmates and teachers. Special events are planned for the anniversary classes of 1940, 1950, 1960, 1965, 1970, 1980, 1985, 1990 and 2000.

The two day event kicks off Friday morning with a guided tour of Tech led by retired faculty and Tech grads. Guests will enjoy lunch at the world famous Juniors Restaurant and then return to Tech to watch a student performance of “Sweeney Todd” in the newly restored auditorium.

Saturday’s schedule will offer you ample time to reminisce with former classmates and teachers during breakfast in the 1st floor gym, to relive great memories during a school assembly program in the auditorium and to be entertained by current Tech students during lunch in the 7th floor cafeteria. After lunch, club exhibits and curriculum demonstrations will be offered by student and faculty in labs and classrooms.

Last year, almost 1,000 alumni, faculty and students attended Homecoming 2009. Among the attendees, Dibriel Ragsdale ’79 remarked that “It’s great to see the school changing with the times – the new labs, the teacher training facilities.” Petula Lee ’89 was “…just so happy to see my classmates. It was very emotional.”

A block of rooms will be available at two neighborhood hotels for Homecoming Weekend, and you are encouraged to make your reservations as soon as possible. Visit the Brooklyn Tech Alumni Foundation website, www.bthsalumni.org, for complete details and to register for Homecoming 2010.
