Comment: I'm thankful to have reunited with my best friend from PBSHS recently, Joe Robert's. Sure would like to run into other's I went to school with @ the greatest place on earth.
As for myself I'm currently retired. I left Southern California Edison (SCE) after working as a journeymen lineman for over 28 year's.
I moved out of Huntington Beach, Ca and moved to Hendersonville, NC after I retired to help my parents in their time of need in their golden years.
My wife and I are moving back to Florida this Feb. Together we have four son's and five wonderful grandkids.
We thank God each day for the blessings given us in this life and look forward to being of service to other's God allows us to bless.
My God bless each of you and God bless all the teacher's that have teached at PBSHS as well as other schools too.
I look forward to attending a class reunion, so if anyone knows of one coming up please feel free to email me.

Comment: Just made my first trip back to Pompano in 25 years and could not believe the difference in the city. Did not recognize the city or the high school. The trip brought back many fond memories of life in Pompano during the 50's, 60's, and 70's, and the many friends and former classmates, some no longer with us. I am retired now and enjoying life with my wife of 38 years. Would enjoy hearing from my old friends.
Comment: It's crazy to see how much the school has changed in the two short years that I've been gone.
The ridiculous tardy/absence policy came into effect my senior year, and I see it's even more strict now. I can't believe some of the best teachers are gone: Sesti, Barak (Turek), DAVIS, etc.
It's crazy how much has changed since we've graduated. You go from seeing the same faces every day to seeing them very seldomly...if ever again at all.
Hope everyone is doing well. Get out there and make something of your lives!!
Here's to '07... last of the old school, and first of the new! :)
Comment: This is a wonderful web site. 35 years ago I stated at Pompano Beach High School and now I am back. It's funny when some of the kids look at the old yearbooks and see my picture with longer hair.. all I can say is " that's a good looking guy... right."
The Alumni need to come visit the school... they would be proud. I always loved working at Pompano Beach and I am happy to be back. Please feel free to contact me it would be nice hear from you.
Comment: I was only at PBHS for my senior year, following a move from PA. I remember "A Man Called Peter" as the senior play, classmates Richard Wright '64, Bobby McKinnon and Bev Smith '65.

Comment: Man.... It's been just over 5 years since I graduated from P-NO. I couldn't imagine going to High School anywhere else! I had so much fun in high school and sometimes I wish I could go back. Anyone from the class of 2004 knows that we were the realist class to come through that institution lol.
I miss the random brawls with the seniors during our freshman year, the petty drama that some people STILL WON'T LET GO lol, and of course my lucrative CD business lol. I graduated from The University of Central Florida in 2008 with a B.S.B.A in Management Information Systems, a minor concentration in Accounting and an Enterprise Resource Planning Certificate. I am currently pursuing an M.B.A. with a minor concentration in Technology Ventures... Anyone that knew me at Pompano knows that I am doing exactly what I was born to do lol.
Shout out to all official and honorary members of D-Unit and the Island Boys! Ya'll know who you are! lol
Comment: Love to hear from any students, faculty, and/or staff. Seeing the school after graduating 30 years ago was just as shocking as seeing my very first part time job, which happened to be Pompano Bowl. Now its called something else, and, that too has totally changed. I have always fought change, and, I came to realize some years ago that you cannot stop it.
Feel free to e-mail me anytime. I would love to hear from you.
Comment: Hi All, What a hoot to see some old names. CMoore,Kathy Hendrix, JJ & Dolores King. Not sure if anyone remembers me, but our family who used to own Pompano Bowl, we moved to NC in 1969. I graduated up there. I live in Boca now and work for Tri-Rail. My daughter just graduated FAU and moved away. So now I am an empty nester. I would love to chat with you sometime. Keep in touch.

Comment: WOW, I've been out of high school for how long? I can really say that the majority of the experiences I had at Pompano Beach Institute for International studies, aka Pompano Beach High School, i would not have had anywhere else. On behalf of myself & Jarvous Freeman i'd like to apologize for ruining the OJT class, 4 semesters of OJT & no job & still got an A. Dont ask me how it was done but hey I graduated. It's a lot of stuff that changed after 2002 that me & sum other faculty & former students were involved in. Some of the change was for good & some was good for faculty & not students, either way I proud to say I graduated from P-NO. I have a college degree in Public Administration with a concentration in Urban Management & Economic Development a good job with the Florida Department Of Revenue, at least for the economy that we live in. And in May my little girl will be born. All in all I will never forget my High School or college experiences. That FAMU trip back in '02 was off the chain to.

Comment: Hi, I went to PBSH from 81 to 83. I sang in Tradewinds and wanted to be a famous singer and actor. After leaving PBSH I went to Shenandoah College and left after a year. I went back to London where I sang in bands until I got tired of that and got accepted to art college to study Sculpture. After that I fell in love and moved to Berlin where I now live with my partner and I survive teaching English as a foreign language. I hope to be at a reunion one day. It's great to read messages from nancy wolf (smith)and victor oates whe left a year earlier but whose mother drove me to school everyday. I wish all the best to the class of 83 Chris/Al jarreau.

I am still searching for Susan Turner class of 67 ? and George Frank also class of 66 or 67 and Tom Hill and Bill Sedmack of the Class of 65. I hope to hear from anyone from PBSH. To answer Eric's question, yes the Tornado , which was built by my friend Ralph Decker's dad, is still displayed at the school I was told that it has been moved to another location, but it is still there. I also noticed that several of you have mentioned Coach Bubba Ware. He is still with us and lives in Pensicola, Fl.
