Please help me correct the following sentences.

1. Zhao-Dong Elementary School celebrates its golden anniversary /semicentennial this year.
2. The school authority makes old photos known to the public and expects / hopes for the roles in this photo will back to alma mater to celebrate school anniversary on this great occasion altogether.

1. "Golden Anniversary" is unnatural. We would probably say "50th Anniversary" or "Golden Jubilee". We do say "Golden Wedding Anniversary" but that is specific to the terminology for wedding anniversaries.

2. Several problems - we don't "make photos known to people". You can't have "roles in this photo" - people, animals and places appear in photos. "Will back" is incorrect. There are at least two articles missing.

I will make a stab at it and suggest "The school authority has made these photos public and hopes that the people shown in those photos will return to their alma mater to help celebrate the school's 50th Anniversary".

I rewrite #1 as following. Which is acceptable, or better?

1. Zhao-Dong Elementary School celebrates its golden jubilee this year.
2. Zhao-Dong Elementary School celebrates its semicentennial this year.
3. Zhao-Dong Elementary School celebrates its 50th anniversary this year.

Please reread post #2.

I got it. It's just an elementary school, not a country or a king.

That's not it. The capital letters in 'Zhao-Dong Elementary School' are just fine.

You can still use Golden Jubilee, even if it's not a monarch celebrating. "50th Anniversary" is probably the most common.
