the Cocoa High School Class of 1965 website

Welcome to the Cocoa High School Class of 1965 website. We have included as much coverage of class history and class events as we could obtain. We have virtually every page of every yearbook to include the 1965 Cocoa Beach Heritage. We have photo and video coverage of all class reunions and mini-reunions as well as other class events and classmate happenings. The class motto was "65 best alive". We still believe that our class was the greatest class to ever attend Cocoa High School. Enter our site and see why.

 

the Cocoa High School Class of 1965 Facebook Group

The best way to keep up with other classmate news, events and happenings on a daily, weekly or monthly basis is to join the class facebook group. Classmates can send private messages to other classmates or can post their message on the wall for all to see. They can upload and post photos and even videos for all to see. This is where you will find the vast majority of information on the class. This is also an excellent method of staying in touch with class events and occasions.
