2026 Alumni Banquet Recap and Photos
With a beginning that goes all the way back to 1883, MHS boasts the oldest high school
alumni association in the United States! We came together once again on May 2, 2026,
at the DoubleTree in Milford, as more than 250 graduates and guests assembled
for the 140th Medway High School Alumni Association banquet. Hosted
by the 25-year Class of 2001, special guests included the 50-year Class of 1976
and the 2026 graduating seniors as the association celebrated its 143rd anniversary.

Following the social hour, the banquet started as Alumni Association President Jeff Pike (Class of 81) welcomed the Class of 2026, which marched into the playing of our fight song, “We Are the Mustangs!”
2026 class historian Meghan Kealey then sang a spectacular version of the National Anthem followed by a moment of silence for longtime MHS administrators Joseph Hanlon (Class of 1955) and David Driscoll as well as long-time teachers Pamela Hoenig and Felicia Parchesky Reitz (Class of 1968), who all passed away in the last year.
Victoria Lotfy Stilwell (Class of 1955), an association board member since 1976, then conducted the roll call of classes—with special recognition for the Class of 1976, the Class of 2001, the Class of 2026, and other classes celebrating their 5-year and 10-year reunions. Vickie also recognized the grandest attendee, celebrating her 76th high school graduation anniversary—Vonnie Heuklom Clark—and the second oldest Alumni in attendance—Martin Slotnick from the Class of 1952.
Board member Deborah Black Hansen (Class of 71) gave the invocation, followed by a buffet dinner and class pictures. After dinner, the Alumni Association posthumously inducted two graduates into the MHS Hall of Excellence:
