Homecoming Week Under the Lights

Join us for a week filled with Husky pride as we cheer on our athletic teams and celebrate Homecoming! Throughout the week, cheer on athletes under the lights on Peterson Family Field. On Friday evening, the celebration culminates with traditional Homecoming festivities, including the bonfire, Spirit Alley activities, face painting, inflatables, balloons, and a football game.

PRO TIPS

Review these pro tips to help make Homecoming run smoothly on Friday, October 3:

Generally, you can avoid all parking hassles after 4:00 p.m. by parking at the Lower School and taking the Flint Hill bus shuttle to the Upper School Campus, which will run continuously through the end of the football game.
