HOMECOMING
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 14–SATURDAY, OCTOBER 15
Join your Flint Hill community for a weekend filled with athletic events, food and fun for the entire family! The weekend kicks off with athletic games and our traditional bonfire on Friday night. Come back on Saturday for more athletic events, spirit giveaways and family-friendly activities for Huskies of all ages!
The Den will be open with concessions for sale and the School Store will open a Pop-Up Shop featuring limited, new items first available at Homecoming in the Peterson Middle School. We look forward to welcoming alumni back to campus at the alumni table with the faculty host committee and recognizing alumni athletes throughout the weekend. There are many ways to get involved and show your Husky spirit, and you can find everything you need to know about this exciting weekend below.
Volunteers play a critical role in this community event. Sign up for a shift.
Friendly reminder! The only pets permitted on campus are Klondike and service animals.
