Reunion Overview
Thirty years later, the connection remains
Batch of 1997 gathers once more in Madurai — an afternoon reserved for the friendships that have quietly endured since our years at SDA.
A Shared Legacy
Thirty years ago, we shared classrooms, chapel mornings, and the quiet discipline of SDA. What we built together has outlasted distance and decades.
An Afternoon, Well Spent
One day, set aside — for breakfast together, for old stories retold, and for the classmates who have become lifelong friends.
In Madurai, Once More
We return to the city that raised us, gathering with the same warmth and dignity that marked our years at school.
