The fall of 2024 has been an exciting time at your alma mater!
Homecoming Week provided quite a bit of hoopla for Mustang Nation, and much of that is thanks to our many dedicated alums. We saw a number of class reunions take place in and around Evergreen Park, and welcomed several forever Mustangs back to campus.
Our current students had a blast throughout an activity-packed Homecoming Week. And, we even had FOX-32 Chicago in the building that Friday morning to highlight our school spirit!

71st Birthday Party for EPCHS Class of 1971
|
The EPCHS Class of 1971 has long been one of Mustang Nation's most involved alumni classes.
This year, many of the Class of '71 are turning 71 years old. The group celebrated the occasion with yet another reunion.
"We felt it was appropriate to have an EP 71 B-day bash for the class!" said Marlene Rutherford Nelson, who has organized many a reunion for this group over the past five-plus decades.
Nelson said 59 classmates attended the birthday bash, with 18 of them coming from 12 different states.
