Join us for our third annual class giving challenge, Macular Madness, that supports student scholarships. Last year, we raised more than $6,000. Congratulations again to the Class of 1998 for last year's victory!

The class who wins the championship will receive a complimentary ticket for each classmate to attend our 2024 Homecoming Tailgate on Saturday, October 26 … and bragging rights of course.

Head over to the UPDATES tab to read the latest information.
