R.L. Paschal Class of 1980 — 45th Reunion Weekend

Get ready for a two-night celebration that’s been 45 years in the making, a weekend filled with laughter, music, old stories, new memories, and plenty of Panther Pride.

Whether you walked the halls as class clown, quiet genius, cheer captain, or somewhere in between, this is your chance to reconnect with classmates who remember when the bell rang between periods, not in your pocket.

Angelo’s BBQ | 6:30–9:30 p.m. | Self-Pay

We’re kicking things off where the ribs are smokin’ and the memories start flowing, Angelo’s Barbeque, a Fort Worth institution. Grab a cold drink, pile your plate high, and settle in for a casual night of catching up, swapping stories, and seeing who still knows all the lyrics to our senior song.

Night Two: Saturday, October 25

Blue Mesa Grille | 7:00–11:00 p.m. | $75 per person

Night Two turns up the tempo with delicious food, a live DJ, and all the moves you’ve been saving since prom night. We’ll celebrate old friendships, honor those we've lost, and relive the glory days on the dance floor. Who can still do the Gator without needing an ice pack afterward? We’ll find out.

R.L. Paschal Class of 1980 Reunion (Night One)Where the ribs are smokin’ and the memories are rollin’ in!

Let’s throw it back to the good ol’ days and catch up over cold drinks, warm laughs, and the best BBQ in town—at a Fort Worth classic: Angelo’s BBQ.

Date: Friday, October 24

Time: 6:30 p.m. – 9:30 p.m.

Location: Angelo’s BBQ, Fort Worth

Self-pay – You cover your tab, we’ll bring the fun!

Come hungry. Leave happy. And don’t be surprised if the stories get better with time (and a little BBQ sauce).

Why You Should Come?

• Reconnect with classmates you haven’t seen in years—or decades.
• Celebrate shared memories that only a Paschal Panther would understand.
• Honor our classmates who are no longer with us, with love and remembrance.
• Laugh like no time has passed at all.
• Dance like it’s 1980, even if your back disagrees tomorrow.

This isn’t just a reunion, it’s a celebration of who we were, who we’ve become, and how the bonds we formed at Paschal still matter today.

Let’s make it a weekend to remember. We may have a few more laugh lines, but the spirit? Still Panther-strong.
