BHS Classes of 1980, 1981 & Friends
The planning and execution for the Burkburnett High School Classes of 1980 and 1981 & Friends 2025 Reunion is well underway and the Bulldog Reunion Team has grown to more than 20. We have approximately eight planned events over the four-day gathering and providing many fun gatherings for our classmates to reconnect, reminsce and rewind the clock to become those fun loving teenagers who once walked the halls of our old alma mater, Burkburnett High School.
Many thanks to our 2025 Reunion planning team of volunteers for all your work to date to make our 45th Year Reunion a Great Success and especially to Kevin Seager and Tiffany Alvey for providing their valuable time and expertise in planning this year’s event.

There are too many details to share because so many people are doing so much simultaneously, however we want to mention that multiple people have donated funds or resources to help us cover many of the costs of the event (still need more please). One of the very important tasks that we have as Reunuion Team is identifying and recognizing classmates on our Memorial Page who have passed away. For their dedication to gather and share Memorials for each our classmates who shared their lives with us during our youth in the Burkburnett ISD school system, we want to specifically recognize and offer our sincere appreciation to the following classmates: Kevin Seager, Michele Hinze and Ray Alexander. Thank you for all you have done and are doing to make sure we honor those we have lost.

Friends of the Burkburnett Boys & Girls Club Endowment Fund
The wonderful people of Burkburnett made a lasting difference in the lives of many people, including me and my family. These generous people from Burk never knew they were extraordinary, they were modest business owners, homeowners, school teachers, church leaders, administrators and many public service workers who made growing up in Burkburnett a wonderful experience for most of the people I know or knew from Burk. Life in Burk shaped our hearts, spirits and minds to reflect the special kindness and generosity that existed in that community and remains part of my soul today. I mention these blessings as I prepare to ask you to consider becoming part of a program that shaped and still shapes the lives of many young people in Burkburnett. The program is the Boys and Girls Club of Burkburnett, of which many years ago, an endowment fund was created to help make sure funds were available to help guide Burkburnett's young boys and girls down a path toward solid values and ethics that would help them achieve more in life and one day, lead them to help the next generation of young leaders. Check it out and make a difference. Maybe we can leave a legacy from the Classes of 1980, 1981 and 1982.
