Carmel High School Class of 1996

🎟️ Reunion Ticket Update!

Next week, the reunion planning team heads to the venue to finalize some big decisions.

Unfortunately, our venue coordinator does not consider "a bunch more people will probably buy tickets later" to be an acceptable attendance estimate. 😆

So if you're planning to come, please grab your ticket this week!

👉 www.carmelhighschoolclassof1996.org

Every ticket helps us make smarter decisions about food, space, seating, and all the little details that turn a reunion into a great reunion.

Bonus: The earlier you buy, the lower your ticket price.

✅ Buy your ticket
✅ Text a friend and tell them to come
✅ Help us stop guessing and start planning

Thirty years later, we're still waiting until the last minute—but let's not make the planning committee relive our group project trauma. 😉

📣 Carmel High School Class of '96 Reunion
❤️ 30 years later and still figuring things out together.

Carmel High School Class of 1996 - 30th Reunion | Reconnect & Celebrate Join Carmel High School Class of 1996 for their 30th reunion weekend with tours, a reception, and celebration.

New!!! ✨ On Friday night, July 24th, following the tour of Carmel High School, we will have a FREE “champagne” toast at the incredible art gallery inside Circle Real Estate in downtown Carmel!!! 🍾🥂🎉🥳

A HUGE thanks to Jason O'Neil - owner of Circle - for opening his space to us, and to Kristin Marley Patrick - owner of Orangily - for providing the alcohol-free bubbly. 🤩🤩🤩

(Programing note: We have pivoted from our previously scheduled TICKETED reception on Friday night to this FREE event. This is to ensure EVERYONE is able to gather following the tour! 🙌)

Hang out at Circle after the toast… Or go out on the town with your fellow 'Hounds. 🌆 (Wait... Did we just say "go out on the town" in relation to Carmel, Indiana? Times have changed! )The choice is yours, but don’t miss this awesome warm-up for the big event Saturday night!!!

Shown here (in case you don't recognize them from 30 years ago...😅): From left to right... CHS '96ers Kristin Patrick Marley, Zachary Kulsrud, Karynn Tank Adamowicz, & Jason O’Neil... drinking bubbly at 10 a.m. on a work day. GO ‘HOUNDS!!! 🐾

📷 Reunion memory request!

We’re looking for photos from our high school days to share at the 30th Reunion — candid shots, parties, sports, clubs, prom, graduation, and all the amazing 90s fashion that's already come back in style once 😂

It's time to dig through the old photo boxes, albums, disposable camera prints, and computer folders and send us what you’ve got!

The more memories, the better. ❤️

❤️ Help us bring the memories back to life.

📩 Submit photos here: [email protected]

As we head into Memorial Day weekend, we’re grateful for those who served and sacrificed for the freedoms and time with family and friends that we often take for granted. ❤️

So before the BBQs, lake days, road trips, and naps begin… take 2 productive minutes and grab your 30th Reunion ticket. 😎

Future You — reconnecting with old classmates after all these years — will be glad you did.

🎟️ Early Bird tickets still available (but not for long!): www.

✨ Planning Team Spotlight ✨

Once you watch this video, you'll know this classmate has not changed all that much since high school… 😂 Which I love!

From withdrawing for a semester senior year (you can ask him about that at the reunion), to being voted “Most Likely to Party His Life Away,” Chris Fabrizio is now helping plan our 30th Reunion — which honestly feels exactly right.

When asked why he joined the planning team, his answer was:

“I can't remember why I decided to butt in on a Zoom call, and I’m probably not even helping all that well. LOL.”

Classic.

But in all seriousness, he’s excited to come back, reconnect with people from back in the day, and see how much Carmel has changed over the years.

And perhaps the biggest plot twist of all?

Thirty years ago, he never imagined he’d be dealing with teenage punks every day… and now he’s their school teacher and their soccer coach!!

⚡ Lightning Round:
☀️ Early bird or night owl? “Can you be both?”
☕ Coffee or cocktails? “Just started coffee this year at 40-whatever-old we are… so both, again, I guess.”

Drop a comment if you remember Fab back in the day👇And he's not on social media so he won't even know that we're talking about him!!

He looks forward to seeing everyone in July for those NOT awkward conversations! If you haven't bought your tickets here, here is the link: www.carmelhighschoolclassof1996.org

We're organizing a golf outing for reunion weekend! If you're interested in playing, please reply to this post. Joe Thompson and Zachary Kulsrud are the lead organizers. We're interested in whether Friday or Saturday are the preferred day, and which Carmel course we should play. ⛳️🏌🏻‍♀️ Fore!

You know that satisfying feeling of crossing something off your to-do list? ✅

This is your sign to finally buy your reunion ticket and officially call it DONE. 🎟️

Future you will be glad you did. And honestly? So will all the classmates hoping to see you there. 😉

Tag a friend that still needs to buy in the comments! It's only 11 weeks away!
