Renunions

Celebrate Your Lasting Connection to HRA

Hampton Roads Academy alumni reunions are vibrant and nostalgic events that bring together former students from various graduating classes to reconnect, reminisce, and celebrate their shared experiences. These events not only strengthen the bonds among alumni, but also reinforce their lifelong connection to HRA, ensuring that the spirit of their school days lives on through enduring friendships and lasting memories. Please contact our Director of Alumni Relations, Tommy Yevak ’83, at tyevak@hra.org with any questions.

The Class of 1971

In June 2026, the Class of 1971 enjoyed a joint reunion party with the Classes of 1972 and 1973. Lots of stories were traded and relived, old friendships were renewed (in spite of sometimes fuzzy memories), a few lies were retold (perhaps embellished), a couple of hatchets were buried, and everyone had a blast. And those who couldn’t make it were truly missed. A huge thank you to Kelly and Howard Hankins for hosting!

This fall, we invite everyone in our class to keep the fun going and join their fellow HRA graduates on campus for the annual All-Alumni Tailgate at 5:00 pm on Friday, October 23, followed by the Homecoming varsity football game at 6:30.

Then, the evening of Saturday, October 24, we’ll return to campus for a reunion party for all the “one” and “six” classes at 6:00 pm. Students will lead campus tours before the doors open, starting at 4:45.

We look forward to seeing you during Homecoming weekend! Information on how to register is coming soon.

The Class of 1981

The HRA Class of 1981 will gather on campus for their 45th reunion during this fall’s Homecoming weekend.

We encourage everyone to attend the Friday, October 23, All-Alumni Tailgate party, which starts at 5:00 and will feature the singular guitar/vocal harmonies of our own Doug Parsons! George Shield and Karen Hastings, among many other folks (including Max Gillespie, Whit Rutter and possibly Jim Holt!), have joined the growing list of honorary tailgate party hosts!

The football game starts at 6:30, and an all-alumni field line-up will take place at halftime. Come enjoy HRA’s new dining hall (adjacent to the stadium), the nearby picnic area, and the fine culinary creations of our own Chef Uwe Schluszas and his exceptional staff.

We invite you all to join us for our 45th reunion back on campus on Saturday, October 24th. Campus tours, given by student ambassadors, are available at 4:45. The reunion gatherings for classes ending in 1’s and 6’s will begin in the dining hall at 6:00 pm. Details on how to sign up will be forthcoming.

Please come join us and spread the word! We want to see everybody in our class!
