Friday, February 17th, will be a special day for students of one Hillsborough County high school. The principal, staff, and students will welcome former graduates back to the school.

As part of the celebration of Black History Month, Owen Young, Principal of Middleton High School, is hosting the first Middleton Alumni Day. “The purpose of this day is to give former Middleton High School graduates the opportunity to come out and teach our baby Tigers about the rich history and good experiences at the school that has brought them to where they are today.

“We are asking not only the alumni from the 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, we would like to hear from those students from the first graduating class from the new Middleton High School, class of 2004 to the present, to come out,” Young said.

The school has planned a day of festivities for the returning graduates with presentations from them taking place throughout the day.

Young is also asking everyone to dress in his or her best Middleton High School gear and join in the celebration. Lunch will also be provided for those in attendance.

Anyone wishing to participate in the first “Middleton Alumni Day” should contact Mrs. Cathy Wiggins-Waters at (813) 233-3360, extension 243.
