Saturday, October 3

The week's homecoming events will culminate on Saturday, October 3rd, providing even more opportunities to reconnect, give back, and celebrate Princeton.

All are invited to attend the All-Class Reunion from noon–5:00 p.m. at the PHS Mural Amphitheater. All Princeton alumni are invited to attend, mingle, reconnect with old friends, and meet Vikings from across the generations. The afternoon will feature music, Princeton alumni food trucks, a Kid Zone, and an Alumni Car Show at the Queen City Racketball Fitness Center Parking lot.

Individual class tents will offer an opportunity to show off your class-year pride! Alumni are encouraged to decorate their tents however they like with class memorabilia, photos, signs, banners, school colors, or anything else that celebrates their time at Princeton. While each class will have its own gathering space, the goal is for everyone to move around, reconnect, and celebrate with alumni from all Princeton graduating classes.

The Official After Reunion Party wraps up the weekend, starting at 5:30 p.m. on October 3rd, at Pike 2 Bar & Grill, 10010 Springfield Pike. 

Once a classmate, always a Viking! We invite our alumni, families, students, staff, and entire VikeNation community to come home, reconnect, and celebrate the traditions and relationships that make Princeton special.
