Alumni Weekend is a set of events to enrich and grow The Heights alumni community. Alumni of all ages and their families are invited to campus to connect with classmates and faculty and celebrate all things Heights.

All attendees must purchase a ticket, this helps immensely with logistics. If you planning on bringing your family to any event of the weekend, please purchase 1 family ticket (even if you plan to attend other events of the weekend by yourself or with your wife/fiancée/girlfriend.) Otherwise, buy a couples or individual ticket. One ticket purchase covers any and all events you will attend. Please get your tickets as soon as possible!

Below is a schedule of the events. New this year is a Pickeball Tournament on Saturday afternoon.

For this year’s alumni soccer game, a draft will be held in which our alumni game coaches Jimmy Escobar ’76 and Babo ’80 will draft players for their respective teams. The draft will be held in advance so you must be registered for the weekend in order to be eligible. All former varsity soccer players are eligible to be drafted.

You can select the events you plan on attending below. All the events below are open to all alumni. The following classes are celebrating anniversary reunions:

1975 (50 year), 1980 (45 year), 1985 (40 year), 1990(35 year), 1995 (30 year), 2000 (25 year), 2005 (20 year), 2010 (15 year), 2015 (10 year), 2020 (5 year). Those classes will receive further emails about details for their class reunions which we be held on October 11th and 12th.
