The Davenport Central High School Class of 1964 has always shown its dedication to education, and their 60th reunion celebration was no exception. This incredible group of alumni not only gathered to reconnect and celebrate their shared memories, but they also went above and beyond to support future generations of educators. During their reunion, the class raised an additional $6,000 for the CHS Future Teacher’s Scholarship Fund, a cause they’ve supported since its inception.
