MLHS CLASS of '66
On May 23, 1966, 365 members of the Moses Lake High School fantastic Class of '66 received diplomas and we started a new chapter in our lives. May this website serve as a way for us to "come home." ​A place to stay connected to those who have had an impact on the people we are today. A place to relive memories we hold dear. A place to remember those who are no longer with us. A place to make new memories.​ This is your website. Enjoy!
​
Plans are underway for our 60th Reunion, August 13-16, 2026. Please send any updated info to us (addresses/emails), so you will be sure to receive all of the information. Check the Reunion page for details as plans are finalized.
