What an unforgettable Friday afternoon it was on September 18th, welcoming the Class of 2016 back to campus for their 10th-anniversary reunion!

With nearly 50% of the graduating class returning to American School of Warsaw, the energy on campus was magnetic. The night was filled with deeply emotional reconnections, warm laughter, and inspiring conversations about all the varied paths life has taken everyone over the last decade.

The dedication of this incredible cohort truly knows no distance. Alumni traveled from across the globe - flying in from the US, Canada, and all over Europe - just to be back where it all began. Walking through the halls, many expressed awe at how much the campus has grown and evolved, paired with the comforting realization that the heart and spirit of ASW remain unchanged. The air was thick with nostalgia, shared memories, and the unmistakable feeling of coming home.

That spirit extended to our faculty as well. Alongside current staff who remembered the class fondly, three former teachers made the journey back from the US, Canada, and the Netherlands specifically to reunite with their former students. Seeing educators and alumni catch up years later was a powerful testament to the lifelong bonds nurtured here, proving once again that "Once a Warrior, Always a Warrior."

A massive thank you to Mariana Silva, whose energy, dedication, and leadership brought her classmates together and spearheaded a fantastic reunion weekend in Warsaw.
