Centennial Alumni Gala
Centennial Reunion Gala
Join the St. John's High School community in celebrating 100 years of the school's brilliant legacy of education. The Centennial Reunion Gala will bring together distinguished guests of honour and former alumni to create an unforgettable evening.
The Gala will include cocktails, a four course gourmet dinner, live entertainment featuring alumni Burton Cummings, Colleen Savage and Ken Kostick, followed by an evening of dancing.
Burton Cummings, founding member of the Guess Who and successful solo artist, will be featured in our Gala evening entertainment.
Burton returned to St. John's high school in 1979 to film a segment for CBC TV where he reunited with his band, the Deverons. After the filming, Burton played and sang a selection of his solo hit songs to the delight of the students in attendance in the senior gym. The genuine, heartfelt performance was warmly received by the audience.
