JOIN US FOR HOMECOMING & REUNIONS

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 19TH

Let the Games Begin! One of the most festive happenings each fall is HM’s Homecoming and Reunions Celebration, which this year takes place on Saturday, October 19th from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM. It truly is one of the most invigorating afternoons on campus, as alumni reconnect with each other, their school, and teachers and coaches while cheering the Lions on to victory. We hope you will join us on campus (bring the family!) for this much-loved tradition, which will include:

  • A full slate of athletics contests (see below), including the annual Dan Alexander '49 Alumni Soccer Game.
  • A Parents Association-sponsored carnival of games for all ages.
  • Huge selection of terrific HM swag for free and for purchase.
  • Complimentary barbecue lunch from noon to 3:00 PM.
  • Campus tours led by student ambassadors at noon and 2:30 PM.
  • The 50th Reunion Luncheon of the Class of 1974.
  • Demonstrations by HM Robotics.
  • Exhibitions in Fisher Gallery.
