The reunion committee includes former students Peter Bushby, Malcolm Cash, John Lee and Heinz Kruesmann, who are working to prepare the meeting for February 23-24, 2018.
Mr Bushby said it was hoped former students from the very first class of about 190 boys would remember their own time at the school and join the reunion next year.
He said Queechy High began as an off-shoot of Launceston Technical High School in 1958 as an all-boys school.
It was later being renamed and opened to girls as well in 1960.
Mr Bushby said it was hoped the reunion would bring back many of those first students, some of whom were difficult to track down.
“When we had the 40th reunion a lot of us got back in touch, and that brought quite a few of us together ... but many people have gone away or are now retired and being grey nomads across Australia,” he said.

It’s primarily a chance for that first class of boys to get back together.
