The Place for Our 50th Reunion

You know that feeling when you walk out of a classroom door and the warm breeze hits you? Like a million memories just popped up — cafeteria laughs, late-night drives, memorable prom looks, first loves… well, imagine that same punch of nostalgia, but with ocean breezes and a cocktail in hand.

That’s our reunion home: Embassy Suites by Hilton St. Augustine Beach Oceanfront Resort — a place where luxury meets laid-back beach life, and every glance out your balcony feels like a postcard.

This isn’t just any hotel — it’s steps from the sand, with rooms that open up to ocean views, palm trees waving hello, and enough sunshine to melt 50 years of stress off your shoulders.

🏖️ Oceanfront Luxury — Without the Pretension

Whether you’re a sunrise person, a beach walker, or the kind of friend who always claimed they’d be first in line for cocktails, this place has you:

All-suite rooms with separate living spaces — perfect for up-to-late chats or a quiet corner for reflection.
Complimentary made-to-order breakfast each morning (because reunions start with coffee and memories).
A frequent evening reception with snacks and drinks — think of it as the casual mingle before the big night.
An outdoor pool that seems to melt right into the horizon, and then the ocean itself.

If you’ve ever joked that you’d retire by the beach someday — here’s your practice weekend.

🍹 Food, Fun, and That Perfect Vacation Vibe

This place has more than just pretty views: there are two restaurants, bars (including a beachside cantina with drinks that taste like sunshine), and even Starbucks for that “remember when…” coffee chat every morning.

Pull up a lounge chair, dip your toes in the sand, or bike along the coast — it’s a resort that gives you options ranging from peaceful to playful, all wrapped in that beautiful Atlantic backdrop.

🏙️ Make It a Reunion Trip

And here’s the best part: while you’ll be celebrating us, you’re also in St. Augustine — one of the oldest and most charming cities in the U.S., with history, culture, boutiques, and more ice cream stops than you ever hit after football games.

So whether you’re a beach bum, a history buff, or just someone who wants to see old friends and eat slightly better than cafeteria pizza, this resort gives us the perfect backdrop.

Come for the reunion. Stay for the ocean. Leave with memories that are even better than the ones from ’76.

"Fifty years later, the stories are still ours — and it’s time to tell them together. Once a Raider. Always a Raider."

Because every Raider deserves a seat at the reunion

Once a Raider, always a Raider — no one left out.

Sometimes life takes a few unexpected turns — and that’s okay. If attending the reunion feels important to you but the timing or cost makes it difficult, we want you to know this: you still matter to this class.

There are quiet, respectful options available for classmates who truly want to attend but may need a little help getting there. No forms. No explanations required. Just a conversation.

If being there means something to you, let us know.
