University High School Alumni Seek Classmates
Former students gathered at the Peabody Hall re-dedication ceremony in 2011.
Former students of University High School and Peabody Elementary School on the University of Arkansas campus are looking for classmates who may want to attend a reunion June 14 in Fayetteville.
The training school was operated in Peabody Hall for more than 50 years by the department of curriculum and instruction in the College of Education and Health Professions. The high school graduated its last class in 1962 and the elementary school closed in 1966.
The all-school reunion will be held at Guesthouse Hotel, formerly the Clarion Inn, in Fayetteville. More information is available by contacting Davia Sue Burson Carter at 501-450-0090 or 501-269-6913 or sue.roycarter@yahoo.com.
Former students are also encouraged to visit the Facebook page “University High School, Class of 1962, Fayetteville, AR” to learn more and connect with classmates.
