South Carolina Beaufort High School (BHS) Eagles celebrate 50 Years
The BHS Class of 1971 is returning home for their Golden Anniversary Reunion.

Fifty years ago, mass integration took place in Beaufort County by merging the three local high schools:  Beaufort High, Robert Smalls High and St. Helena High.  Taking the name of Beaufort High, the mascot of St. Helena and the school colors of Robert Smalls, a new school was created at the Mossy Oaks Road location.  In addition to creating the new school, a new school song was written for the BHS Eagles which is still sung today.

The Class of 1971 was the first graduating class of Beaufort High Eagles with 552 seniors marching across the football field on June 1, 1971.  To celebrate the Golden Anniversary of the school as well as the class, the weekend of October 15-16, 2021, former students from various parts of the country will converge at their alma mater to celebrate that history making year.

To celebrate its Golden Anniversary, several events have been planned.  A Meet and Greet (free to all Class of 1971 BHS graduates) will be held in the BHS cafeteria located at 84 Sea Island Pkwy, Beaufort, SC on Friday, October 15, 2021 @ 5-7PM.  Parking is available in the rear of the building near the cafeteria entrance from 5-5:30PM and food trucks will be in that parking area.

Following the Meet and Greet, the Beaufort High School Eagles vs May River (Bluffton) football game will take place @ 7:30pm where the history making Class of 1971 will take to the field to be honored during the halftime festivities.  Game tickets are $7 and can be purchased in advance online or at the gate.

The Golden Anniversary celebration will conclude Saturday evening, October 16, 2021, with a buffet Reunion Banquet at Traditions on Parris Island.
