Homecoming Tailgate
Every year, the Friends and Alumni sponsor a football tailgate party
on the night of Homecoming. Located in front of Holy Cross Hall at
Memorial High School, festivities include a night of fun, food, and
comraderie before heading to the football game. This is a great time
for alumni, students, parents, and friends of all ages to rally the Tigers
on to a Homecoming victory. Memorial apparel and merchandise are
also available for purchase.
Senior Breakfast a Blast!
Friends and alumni gathered in the wee hours of the morning on May 14 to fire up the griddles in preparation for over 200 seniors converging on the cafeteria for the Annual Senior Breakfast. The food was outstanding; but more importantly, this is just one way that the Memorial Friends and Alumni Association recognizes the graduating class and welcomes them into the association.
