Ms. Hilda Roe and her former Fifth Grade students: Eric Mulkey '94, Alanna Doczi '94, Burt Burroughs '94, Alexis Fischer '94, and Allan Haynsworth '95.
“I cannot begin to tell how much I enjoyed my ten-year reunion. It was an unforgettable experience and Cape Henry has changed so much. There are so many academic, social, and athletic opportunities for each student that will allow them to soar in their area of expertise. I feel honored to say that I graduated from such an amazing school. I will forever hold Cape Henry in my heart as a place that helped guide me to the person I have become. I did not realize that my K-12 experiences were going to be such an integral part of how I teach my students until I stepped back into time on that Saturday, May 20, 2006. Cape Henry taught me to run, to soar, and it opened the door to something I never knew before and that is what I want my pupils to remember when they come back to their ten-year reunion. I enjoyed seeing my old classmates and teachers. It was a fun time–let’s do it again in 20 years.”
