Some traveled hundreds of miles to reach Mountain Home. For others, it was a short drive down the street.

Regardless of the distance, they all came home for one purpose. For a few brief days last week, they celebrated their friendship and cherished old memories as former students of Mountain Home High School.

Every five years, this group of former students return here for a special reunion of sorts. In most cases, the last time these people stepped in a classroom was more than 65 years ago.
