Fall Family Weekend: October 24–26, 2025
Fall Family Weekend is an opportunity for you to reconnect with your student and experience Duck life. Weekend highlights include Duck into a Class, Homecoming festivities, and athletic events.

We encourage all of our parents and families to join us for a fun-filled weekend!
