San Jose High Centennial Luncheon

On Sunday, January 13, 2013, the first event in a year-long celebration was held at the San Jose Country Club. The event was sold out, and over 200 former graduates and significant others celebrated the 150th centennial of San Jose High School.

Graduates lining up at the sign-in desk.

There was a mini-orchestra, made up of San Jose High Orchestra members, playing near the entrance to welcome graduates.

Mr. Briggs was one of the honored guests.

With her son is the oldest graduate (100) of San Jose High.
