Hillcrest Academy is set to welcome back alumni and family for their third annual Homecoming/Alumni Family Weekend. 

Starting tomorrow at 5:30 p.m., alumni will kick off the weekend with some friendly competition in the alumni volleyball game followed by the alumni soccer game. Saturday will begin at 10 a.m. with the Joetown Classic 5k with a free inflatable obstacle course available for kids during and after the race. Registration for the 5k is $30 in advance or $35 at the door. Campus tours will be available throughout the day with the opportunity to see the unveiling of the painting “Hillcrest” by alumni Kara Schlabaugh. The school commissioned the painting to celebrate the academy’s 75th anniversary. Rounding out the weekend is the pork supper hosted by the junior class of Hillcrest Academy. Hillcrest Director of Advancement Jeremy Ours welcomes the public to dine in person together though there they offer other options , “Take-out will obviously be available for folks that would rather grab their meal and take it home. We got really good at doing take-out last year with our fundraising meals and so that’s obviously something we are gonna be able to offer to the community this year.”

Food will be available from 4:30-7 p.m. with pulled pork, baked potato, salads, a dinner roll and dessert on the menu. Carry-out options are available and cost for the meal is $10 for adults, $9 for seniors, children ages 4-12 is $5 and children under the age of three are free. Tickets can be purchased from the junior class or at the event. The KCII Big Red Radio will be providing the soundtrack to the Joetown Classic Saturday, broadcasting live from 9 a.m.-noon.
