I agree with Leslie. Do they actually have smoking areas on campus anymore? My daughter went to Overland and I can remember watching the kids smoke off the campus but as close as they could get. One day my daughter said "Dad I saw some kids doing drugs today. They were smoking" So I said "were you one of those kids" She said "No" I said "Don't worry about it then" The other one was the day she called me at work and frantically said "Dad I think I'm gonna fail math" All  I could think was if I thought I was going to fail a class the last thing I was going to do was call my parents and tell them so. With todays technology I could look at her grades on the internet right then and there. She wasn't failing at all, she was 2 points below a B. So one day I drove her from Overland to Gateway just to show her how close my school was to hers. She was like "So What" Things were different back then. But I always loved the 80's. Gateway High School was a big turining point for me.

 How funny is it that in back "our day" we actually did walk to school up hill (both ways), in the snow!  How about that we had a smoking area on campus?  Who's idea was it to allow 10 unexcused absences per class; per semester?  I guess that was for learning "time managment skills!"  Too fun.  See you all on Saturday!- Leslie

GHS class of 1986 -- When we graduated, we wanted to go out and change the world, and look at us!  Firefighters, teachers, lawyers, engineers, scientists, doctors, writers, mothers... and more!  We have had a huge influence on the world, and I just want to say how proud I am of all of you.  Thanks for a great weekend!  -  Cindy

Great weekend, keep up the connections.  Being with even some of you made it great for me, too.

Start a memory section of some of those incredible and life changing events from your time at Gateway (and Rangeview...).

A strange combination but all good causes.
