Austin High Alumni Reunite at Westminster Senior Living
25 Jun
Summary
- Over 50 Austin High graduates now live together.
- An initiative by Cynthia Leach brought classmates together.
- The community celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Red Jackets.

A remarkable number of over 50 former Austin High School classmates have found a unique shared living environment at Westminster Senior Living. This idea for annual reunions, initiated by graduate Cynthia Leach in 1977, has evolved into a significant portion of the independent living population residing together.
Among the residents, many share a connection to Austin High's "Red Jackets" spirit organization, which celebrated its 100th anniversary recently. Ten residents were identified as former Red Jackets, embodying decades of school spirit and tradition. This unique communal living arrangement highlights enduring friendships and a shared history among the alumni.
