From the Barrington High School Alumni Association (BHSAA):
“Homecoming weekend in Barrington will take place Sept. 30 through Oct. 3. The theme is ‘Around the World’! Since we did not get to celebrate last year, we are encouraging the classes ending in 0, 5, AND 1, 6 to come home to Barrington for a wonderful reunion of our school years past. It will be time well spent and certainly a time where we could use a few laughs and some treasured companionship. The 2021 Homecoming Parade will have the Classes of 1970 and 1971 as the parade grand marshals, along with our valued BHSAA leaders, Don Thompson (’61) and Jim Potter (’65). Check out the slate of events listed below!

Stop by the 9/11 exhibit on display at BHS
On Saturday, Oct. 2 alumni can stop by the Clair E. Smith Gallery at BHS to view the 9/11 exhibit, created by BHS alumnus Gary Suson. Suson served as the official FDNY Ground Zero photographer in the aftermath of the World Trade Center Attacks. In honor of the 20th anniversary of 9/11, he worked with the school district to bring his rare images and artifacts to BHS. The exhibit features 100 Images and artifacts along with BOSE audio stories narrating the history behind each display. It is a recreation of Suson’s 9/11 Museum Workshop in New York, a two-time winner of Trip Advisor’s prestigious “Top 25 Museums in the USA” Award. Tours are taking place in half hour increments.
