LaGuardia Class of 1996

06/16/2026

To everyone who made it to NYC this month — you didn’t just show up, you showed out.
Being back in the city where we learned to create, perform, dream, and push boundaries felt like stepping into a spotlight we never lost.

For everyone who couldn’t be there this time — we felt your spirit, we missed your faces, and we hope you’ll be center‑stage with us at the next one. We’re already planning something even bigger, even bolder, even more LaG.

Carla dropped a few pics below, and they’re giving full nostalgia, full joy, full “we still got it.”
Post your photos right here in the group — let’s keep the weekend alive frame by frame.

A huge special shout‑out to Carla E. Kelly and Carmen Roman for holding it down in person for all of us — showing up with heart, humor, and that classic LaGuardia energy.

And much love to the rest of our crew —Kassia Graham, Kia Maria Berrysea, Rusty B Valle, and myself — who stayed connected behind the scenes, shared ideas, and supported where we could while juggling real life.
Even in a busy season, the love for this class and this community never went anywhere.

And of course, a special shout‑out to Kassia for designing our 30th reunion merch logo — iconic, timeless, and so very us.

Class of ’96 — the art is still in us. The magic is still in us. And this weekend proved it.

🎭🎶🎨 TODAY IS THE DAY! 🎨🎶🎭
After 30 years, hundreds of life updates, questionable fashion choices, career changes, marriages, kids, grandkids (for some of you 😜), and more group texts than anyone can keep up with...
The LAG Class of '96 Reunion is finally here!
Today we'll find out:
✅ Who hasn't changed at all
✅ Who changed so much nobody recognizes them
✅ Who still has the same laugh
✅ Who still shows up late
✅ Who remembers every teacher's name
✅ Who remembers absolutely nothing from the '90s
Get ready for hugs, stories, laughter, and at least a few moments of:
"Wait... is that REALLY you?!"
Can't wait to see everyone today and celebrate 30 years of friendship, memories, and surviving high school before social media existed.
And when the school festivities wrap up...
🍻 The after-party starts at 6 PM at Amsterdam Ale House!
See you soon, LAG '96!

🎭✨ ONE MORE DAY! ✨🎭
Tomorrow we celebrate 30 years since graduation, and we can't wait to see everyone!
It feels like yesterday we were walking the halls of LAG, rehearsing, performing, creating, and building friendships that have lasted a lifetime. Whether you're coming from across the city or across the country, we're excited to reconnect, share memories, and celebrate together.
And don't forget—the fun continues after the reunion!
🍻 After Party
📍 Amsterdam Ale House
🕕 6:00 PM
Safe travels, everyone. See you tomorrow for an unforgettable celebration!

🎉✨ LAGUARDIA ’96 — IT. IS. HAPPENING. ✨🎉
We are officially TWO DAYS OUT from Reunion Weekend and the energy is already giving opening‑night adrenaline.

After we wrap up the magic at the school on Saturday, the night keeps going — because of course it does. We’re LaGuardia. We don’t just leave after curtain call.

📍 AFTER‑PARTY — 6 PM
Amsterdam Ale House
340 Amsterdam Ave, New York, NY 10024

Super casual. Super easy. Super fun.
They’ve got food, drinks, and most importantly… US — your fellow classmates, your day‑ones, your studio fam, your hallway‑crew, your “remember when we had to run to class with wet paint / sheet music / pointe shoes / a monologue” people.

Translation: it’s automatically going to be a good time.

Bring your stories. Bring your laughs. Bring your “I can’t believe it’s been 30 years” face.
Let’s make this weekend feel like the lobby between periods, the senior lounge, the 4th‑floor studios, the cafeteria table, the fountain — all of it.

This is our moment.
This is our class.
This is our 30th.

Let’s GO. 🔥💛🖤

The official Merch: We’re 30 years out and somehow still extra. Grab reunion merch designed by Kassia ’96. Proceeds support our big weekend, and whatever’s left goes back to LaGuardia—because the drama never ends and the arts need funding.

LaGers, please be on the lookout for scams. See the examples attached.

When we announce sale of unofficial reunion merch it'll be done by the page, or in one of the groups via actual classmates who've been organizing these things for years.

Thanks for your vigilance.
