Homecoming

Celebrate Homecoming 2023 on October 6 and 7!

Homecoming is our annual celebration of all things Morningside. We love welcoming back alums celebrating their 25th, 50th, and 60th class reunions during the Silver, Gold, and Diamond dinner on Friday night. We relish hearing alums belting The Morningside Hymn during the Premiere Performance. Few things are better than whole herds of Mustangs gathering together in their Morningside best to cheer on our teams. And of course, the Taste of Morningside presents the perfect opportunity to catch up with old friends and reminisce about your days at Morningside. Make your plans to come join us Oct. 6-7, 2023. We can't wait to welcome you back.
