The “Centenary Charms”

Submitted by Katie Hord ’96

Thirty something years ago in the early 1990s a group of innocent, eager, excited girls arrived on Centenary’s campus ready to start their next chapter in life! James Dorm provided the perfect location to form friendship bonds that to this day remain unbroken. Together we spent the next several years laughing, crying, learning from our mistakes, and navigating adulthood - all while loving and supporting each other.

Now 30 years later, where we live, what we have experienced, or who we have become hasn’t changed how important we are to each other. During those formative years at Centenary, we knew what we had was special. We, the self-proclaimed “Centenary Charms”, continue our friendship today by gathering annually each year at a different location. We are so thankful for our time together and we are looking forward to celebrating at our next reunion in Shreveport at the Bicentennial in October 2025!
