Select a class for its complete memorial list, a shareable page and a clean print view.

Classes of 1971–1973 are included because these students attended Lyons High School before consolidation with Lyons Industrial High School. They were juniors, sophomores and freshmen during LHS’s final school year and later graduated from Lyons Senior High.

There was no graduating class in 1951 because Toombs County transitioned to twelve grades. Students who otherwise would have graduated in 1951 graduated in 1952 instead. Read the historical note.

It is necessarily incomplete, and we depend upon classmates, families and friends to help us keep it current.
