WELCOME... to the website of the 1974 Class of Elkhart Central & Memorial High School Alumni!
It is hard to imagine that we have been out of High School for almost 40 years!  
Our journey has brought us many joys, triumphs and challenges, as well as fond memories of our classmates who are no longer with us.  It is time to reflect, reconnect and renew old friendships and make some new ones.

UNITY... ONE CLASS OF 1974
Many of us were on our journey together as classmates from Elementary thru the Sophomore Division. We made history as the last class to attend the Elkhart "Sophomore Division" (the old Elkhart High School), which closed it's doors after 100 years. The Elkhart school was split into two High Schools in the Fall of 1972.

The Elkhart Central & Elkhart Memorial students became Blazers and Chargers. In honor of coming back together, we have created our own new class logo above, designed to show our unity as ONE class of 1974.
