The first re-union was in October 1989, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the school's arrival. Initial contact had been made by David Smith to the Parish Council, whose chairman, Derek Sim, had been a village member of the St. Bees Home guard with MillHillians. A service in the Priory and a grand dinner was held, plus lunch in the Seacote Ballroom - the old school dining room.

The St. Bees Old Millhillians was founded in 1990 with David Smith as the chairman. Tragically David died in 1991, and Michael Berry then became Chairman. Every year since there has been the AGM of the "St. Bees Old MillHillians", in the bar of the Queen's Hotel, where a grand framed picture, presented by them, bears testimony to its use as the "Master's Common Room". Several villagers are honorary Old MillHillians.
