10 Nov Milestone Reunions 2025: Honouring the Classes of 1975, 1980 & 1995
Celebrating Milestone Reunions on the Hillside!
This autumn, Woodstock School proudly hosted milestone reunions for the Classes of 1975, 1980, and 1995! Alumni from across the decades returned to campus to relive treasured memories, walk beloved paths, and reconnect with friends, teachers, and the place that shaped them.
Whether celebrating 50, 45, or 30 years, each class brought its own stories, laughter, and nostalgia to the hillside. From revisiting classrooms and dorms to sharing conversations over tea on the Quad, their time on campus was filled with warmth, reflection, and a renewed sense of connection.
We are honoured to celebrate these significant moments with our alumni community and delighted to share glimpses from all three milestone reunions below. We hope these memories bring joy — and inspire other classes to plan their own return to the hillside.
If your class is planning a reunion, please reach out to us at alumni@woodstock.ac.in — we would love to welcome you back home.
Class of 1975: 50-Year Milestone Reunion
The Class of 1975 returned to celebrate their 50-year milestone, with an impressive turnout that made the reunion truly special. The class curated a meaningful itinerary on the hillside, including a moving remembrance service in honour of Liana Gertsch, Distinguished Alumni Awardee 2024.
They also enjoyed an exclusive preview of the newly renovated Parker Hall, shared a memorable evening at Hanifl Centre complete with live music, and spent time revisiting spaces that hold deep significance.
We extend our warmest wishes to the Class of 1975 and look forward to welcoming them back for future milestones!

It wasn’t just the alumni who were excited — our current students were thrilled to meet and interact with members of ’95, sparking meaningful conversations across generations. With a full day of activities, campus tours, and opportunities to reconnect, the reunion was packed with enthusiasm from start to finish.
Our Student Interns especially enjoyed engaging with the class, learning from their stories, and sharing their own Woodstock experiences.
