TVHS Celebrates The Class Of 1975

Posted

AKRON – Tippecanoe Valley High School welcomed back the class of 1975 for an evening of celebration, reflection and Viking pride.
The evening began with a tour of the school, followed by a home football game against Jimtown, where the Vikings secured a 33–0 victory, according to a news release from Tippecanoe Valley School Corporation.
This year marks a milestone in Valley history. Fifty years ago, the town high schools of Mentone and Akron consolidated to form Tippecanoe Valley High School. This followed earlier consolidations that united the schools of Beaver Dam, Talma and Burket, creating one united community of learners. Out of these transitions, a new tradition was born — the Tippecanoe Valley Vikings, the release states.
The Class of 1975 represents the very beginning of what it means to be a Viking: pride in their communities, strength in coming together and a commitment to excellence that continues to shape Valley’s legacy today, stated the release.
The Class of ’75 were able to reconnect with classmates and cheer on the Vikings.
“It was an honor to host the Class of 1975,” said Ashlie Schlemmer, director of communication at Tippecanoe Valley School Corporation. “Their stories and spirit remind us of the foundation our school was built on and the values that continue to guide us.”
