2019 CLASS REUNIONS
The weekend of September 20-22 was a great time for classmates at the class of 1959 60th Reunion.
It started on Friday with a reception at the Marriott Regency. Activities continued Saturday morning
with an eye-popping visit to Central where attendees were able to see the beautiful newly completed
Arts and Library Addition on the east side of Central. At the Saturday evening dinner, everyone
celebrated the academics, diversity, and inclusion that made Central so special. On Sunday morning,
many attendees gathered at the Marriott Regency for a farewell breakfast to end a fantastic weekend.
Congratulations to the Class of 1959 for winning the 2019 First Class Reunion Challenge!
1984
The class of 1964 spent September 6th and 7th celebrating their 55th Class Reunion. Classmates
reminisced and reconnected with friends at Champions Run and Happy Hollow. The Saturday morning
tour gave classmates a chance to revisit the past and see the future of CHS. The new Arts and Library
1959 Addition was experienced with awe. Visit central64.org to see highlights of the reunion and a video
produced by Harry Friedman, Jeopardy! producer, to honor the deceased classmates.
“The Best Reunion Ever” was the theme and the result for the class of 1969 at their 50-year reunion
on the weekend of August 2 and 3. The reunion began with a meet and greet on Thursday night at La
Casa Pizzaria. Over 200 Eagles gathered Friday night for a cocktail party before meeting Saturday
morning for a Central tour. Saturday afternoon included tours of Omaha on Ollie the Trolley. The final
gathering was Saturday night at the Scottish Rite. Classmates enjoyed cocktails, Omaha-centric hors
d’oeuvres, and dancing to the music of The Confidentials. They were honored that Dr. Moller attended
and shared many of his humorous stories.
The class of 1979 reunited for their 40 year reunion in July. Classmates met at the “C” on Saturday
1989
July 13 for a tour of the school. After sharing memories over lunch at Mama’s Pizza on Saddle Creek,
the main event was that evening at Legend’s Patio Bar and Grill. Classmates and their spouses gathered
for a fun evening of socializing, reconnecting with old friends and making new friends. The weekend
concluded on Sunday with a super relaxing afternoon at the lake home of Dominic and Carol Watson
Cosgrove.
1964 Eagles from the class of 1984 gathered for their 35-year reunion on the weekend of September 6 and
7. The festivities kicked off with a night of fun on Friday at Sullivan’s Bar, which is owned by 1983
alumnus Dan Houlihan. Classmates met at the school on Saturday morning to tour the school and
check out the Arts and Library Addition. Things have changed a lot since 1984! The reunion weekend
concluded with a party at Castle Barrett. Alumnus John Hough and his band Skretta provided live
music entertainment.
The Central class of 1989 kicked off their 30th reunion on September 6 with a pre-game tailgate at 1994
Barchen Beer Garden in Benson. After mixing for a few hours, many in the class attended the Central
vs. Creighton Prep football game. Saturday morning roughly 50 classmates attended the school tour, and
everyone who toured raved about how much fun it was! The class really enjoyed seeing the new digital
library in the Arts and Library Addition. Saturday evening classmates met at the Upstream Brewery for
a dinner. The class had such a fun time that they closed down the upstairs floor.
The class of 1994 met for their 25-year class reunion on October 4 and 5. On Friday night, a few
hardy souls braved a cold rain to watch the Eagles take on Pius X at Seemann Stadium. At the game’s
conclusion, classmates met at Annie’s Irish Pub in the Capitol District. Saturday morning families
gathered for a tour of the school and for a first look at the new Arts and Library Addition. On Saturday
1969 night, about 40-45 diehards met at the Holiday Inn Downtown for a pasta dinner, surrounded by old
Registers and O-Books, and even an early 90s Dimension and Road Show program. Everyone had the
looks of a 30-year-old with the wisdom of a 60-year-old.
The class of 1999 met for their 20-year class reunion on September 27 and 28. On Friday night,
1999
Eagles gathered for a happy hour event at Paddy McGowan’s Pub and Grill. Classmates then attended
the Central football game where Central defeated Lincoln High 17-7. Saturday morning featured a tour
of the school and the opportunity to walk the halls again for the first time since graduating. Saturday
night included appetizers and entertainment at the B Bar. More than 100 people enjoyed chatting and
mingling with many former classmates.
On the weekend of September 27, the class of 2009 met for their 10-year class reunion. The reunion
began with a tailgate in the Senior Parking Lot before walking over to watch the Eagle football team
win their homecoming game. On Saturday morning, history teacher Scott Wilson led a tour of the
school, featuring the new Arts and Library Addition. Saturday night, the 09-ers got dressed up for a
cocktail party and dinner at Upstream Brewery, where they caught up with classmates over drinks and a
buffet dinner. They heard a welcome speech from the Reunion Committee and held a moment of silence
for classmates who had passed and raised a glass in their memory.

STUDENT IMPACT
The Mission of the Central High School Foundation is “To improve the education of present and future students at Central High School.” One way
the mission is fulfilled is through classroom grants. Below is a sampling of grants from the Central High School Foundation impacting CHS students.

EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING
Experiential learning is an educational strategy that combines the use of rigorous classroom curriculum instruction with outside of the classroom
curricular related learning experiences. Research has shown that when a school and its staff adopt the experiential learning strategy, student
learning outcomes are maximized for young people of all backgrounds. The Central High School Foundation, by providing Central High School
classroom experiential learning grants, has allowed our teachers and students, in all curricular areas, the opportunity to supplement and enhance
the Central School High educational experience in a way that is unmatched by other public schools in the Metro Omaha area.
Ninth grade US history students and teachers traveled to the National World War I
Museum in Kansas City in September 2019 to enhance their classroom studies on
The Great War. Students spent time exploring exhibits related to their studies and
engaging museum staff with questions about artifacts and historical content. This annual
experiential learning opportunity is made possible thanks to a classroom grant funded by
the Central High School Foundation.
In October 2019, a Central High School economics class left Omaha to visit the Federal
Reserve Bank of Kansas City. The bank covers Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma,
Wyoming, and portions of western Missouri and northern New Mexico. Upon arrival,
Eagles watched a video explaining the historical facts about the creation of our nation’s
bank along with its 12 districts. In addition, students toured the money museum featuring
the Harry S. Truman Coin Collection and gained an understanding of the money-
creation process and the main functions of the Federal Reserve. This experiential learning
opportunity was made possible thanks to a classroom grant from the Central High School
Foundation.
Last fall, 9th grade US History students were visited by 8 cars from the Omaha Centennial
Model T Club and the Meadowlark Model A Club. This is the 10th year these clubs have
returned to Central High School. The clubs not only answered student questions about
these historic vehicles, but they also allowed them to sit in the cars and even took them
on short rides around the Joslyn Art Museum parking lot. This experiential learning
opportunity augmented classroom studies about Henry Ford and the emergence of
automobile culture in the United States during the 1920s.
Central history students attended the annual Governor’s Lecture at the Holland Center in
October hosted by Humanities Nebraska. The keynote speaker was David Eisenhower II,
grandson of President Dwight D. Eisenhower, and he discussed the role his grandfather
played in the D-Day invasion of Europe in 1944. Central Social Studies teacher Scott
Wilson was asked by Humanities Nebraska to moderate the Question and Answer session
after Eisenhower’s speech. Several Central students had their questions addressed and
many stayed to get their picture taken with Eisenhower after the lecture.

THE LEGACY GIVING SOCIETY
Established in 2011 with the inaugural contribution of Stanford Lipsey, CHS 1945, the Legacy Fund
allows a donor to provide a financial contribution to the areas of greatest need at Central High School.
The funds are endowed to create a permanent source of support to ensure the Tradition of Excellence
continues for future generations. The Jepsen Family Legacy Plaza and Dr. G.E. and Betty Moller
Legacy Walkway were erected in 2019 to honor Legacy Fund donors. The Legacy Fund is managed by
the Central High School Foundation to ensure the donors’ charitable gifts will grow over time and be
distributed to make the greatest impact. If you’re interested in making a gift or for more information,
please contact Michele Roberts at michele@chsfomaha.org or 402-556-1996.
