NCHS '96 Then & Now Form

🐾💙💛

Class Dismissed in '96... Still Cougar Strong in 2026

Thirty years ago, we walked the halls of NCHS with big dreams, questionable fashion choices, and absolutely no idea where life would take us. 😄

Now it's time to see where the journey led.

We're creating a special Then & Now feature for our 30th Reunion Souvenir Program, and we want YOU in it! 🐾💙💛

Please take about 5 minutes to tell us who you were then, who you are now, and what you've learned along the way.

We'll pair your 1996 senior photo with a current photo you provide to create your Then & Now profile.

You don't need to answer every reflection question.

Pick the ones that tell your story best.

What was your full name in 1996?* This field is required.Enter your name as it appeared in the yearbook.

What name do you go by today?* This field is required.If it hasn't changed, just enter the same name.

Did you have a nickname in high school?You know...the name half the class may still call you 30 years later.

Where are you now?* This field is required.City and state—or city and country for our Cougars who wandered a little farther from home.

Back in '96, you could usually find me...Finish the sentence. Cafeteria? Gym? Band room? Parking lot? Somewhere you technically weren't supposed to be? We aren't judging 30 years later. 😂
