The following days are filled with events including Warrior Madness, the Patricia Graham Step Show, the annual Remembrance Day celebration, athletics events, the annual Homecoming bonfire, and more.

The Alumni Association welcomes back all alumni, including the class of 1975 celebrating their 50-year reunion.
