C.E. Byrd Centennial Celebration Weekend

The C.E. Byrd Alumni Association has organized a once-in-a-century celebration to honor the many students and community members integral to the school’s 100 year legacy. Were you once a Jacket athlete? Perhaps you were more of a social butterfly, or focused mainly on academics. No matter your individual interests, the weekend of June 5–7 has an event sure to be a hit with Byrd students past, present, and future.

On Saturday morning, the Byrd Alumni Association will host a 5K walk/run at the school to start the day!  Runners, walkers, families and spectators can enjoy some exercise and entertainment throughout the neighborhood surrounding Byrd. The run will begin and end at the school and surrounding streets will be closed for the race. Afterwards, stick around Byrd’s campus to visit with former faculty, graduates and friends. There will be historic memorabilia displayed throughout the school for viewing.  We will have an assembly at 10:30am and a pep-rally after that highlighting all of the fun and school spirit we remember from our days at Byrd!

Finally, the weekend will wrap up with our 3rd Ultimate Reunion! Everyone is invited to help us celebrate 100 years of Byrd! There will be food, a band, AND a DJ to keep the party going. Tickets for the Ultimate Reunion at the Shreveport Convention Center includes food, and a cash bar will be available.
