Why You Should Attend Your High School Reunion

5 Reasons To Attend Your High School Reunion�|�Elaine Ambrose. I am attending my Fifitieth High School Reunion this weekend. I will not bore you with the details as I know that the only thing less interesting to you than your own reunion is mine. However, I point you to this article in Huffpo by Elaine Ambrose in which she gives her reasons for attending. Mine are a bit more complex. Of course, there is always the curiosity reason; but, more than that, it is a rite of passage to our final destination.
