As part of La Jolla High School’s celebration of its 100th anniversary, the Vikings gave past and current students and supporters a night to remember Sept. 30.

A party preceding that evening’s homecoming football game — during which La Jolla defeated San Diego High — was held at the Coggan Family Aquatic Complex on campus for Vikings alumni to peruse old yearbooks and catch up.

At the game, alumni had a special section by the end zone, and just before halftime, San Diego City Councilman Joe LaCava, whose District 1 includes La Jolla, presented the school with a proclamation honoring the centennial.

At the half, alumni could ride and walk in a parade on the school track alongside current students.
