Rockport School Biennial Reunion!

The Rockport School Biennial Reunion was held on a hot and hazy day on September 5th, 2026 at the Ohio County High School Cafeteria. The hotness from the outside continued on the inside as that old high school cafeteria rocked, in as much as Rockport Senior Citizens could rock, in having a good time. With a moderate turnout of Rockport and Echols former students, and friends, the social hour from 3:00-4:00 was abuzz with meeting and greeting of old friends and kin. The total attendance decreased from past reunions as somewhat less than 70 people were in attendance. Following the social hour, a catered meal was prepared by Moonlite Bar-B-Q Inn. Iva T. Embry and Jenny Knifley emceed the entertainment after the meal. Linda James delivered the names of those area friends that have passed on since the last reunion of 2024. Bobby Sublett gave the closing prayer.

The year's event theme was "America, 250 Years Old And Counting." The singing of "The Star Spangled Banner" by Rita E. Medbery opened the event program. This was followed by the "Pledge Of Allegiance To The Flag" by the attendees. Rita then led the crowd in singing of three other patriotic songs. Jerry Durham presented a slide show of the Rockport area veterans starting with the veterans from WWI and ending with the veterans of the Gulf War.

The attendance of this year's reunion has greatly diminished, but the enthusiasm has not. Every one present seemed to have enjoyed this school reunion with some hope that this age old tradition will continue two years from now.

Thank you for looking and reading this material.

I took a little over 80 pictures at the 2026 Rockport School Reunion and beginning with this web page, I will start showing those pictures that were taken. I will present about six pictures on this "Special" page on a weekly basis. Be sure and tune in weekly. You don't want to miss seeing pictures of "The Rockport Girls" doing their favorite routine. Wish I had the music to go with their performance.
