Homecoming 2024
Friday, September 27–Sunday, September 29
is Homecoming Weekend
at Bridgton Academy!
We invite you to join us for a festive fall weekend with a great line-up of events from start to finish.
On Friday, parents and alumni alike are welcome to attend classes. That afternoon, Wolverine soccer and baseball will compete, and we’ll offer a delicious array of Maine fall treats hosted by Mrs. Gleeson up near the field. The Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony takes place in the evening, with five new individuals being inducted.
Saturday includes a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Academy’s newly renovated weight room and a college counseling Q&A session for parents. Wolverine lacrosse and hockey games are slated for the afternoon and evening, along with a fun and lightly-competitive nine-hole golf scramble at nearby Bridgton Highlands Country Club. That evening, an Alumni & Parent Homecoming Reception will be held at the nearby Queen’s Head Pub in downtown Bridgton.
On Sunday, football takes on the University of New England, hockey has a second game, and a special dedication of the Armour House in honor of Mr. Tim Armour ’67 will also take place.
Throughout the weekend, enjoy lots of delicious food under the Homecoming tent, the chance to shop at the Bridgton Academy School Store for the latest gear, a bouncy house and outdoor games for our younger Wolverines, a Homecoming photo booth, and much more!
We’ll also be celebrating reunion-year classes ending in 4s and 9s this year, so if you are in a reunion year, we hope to see you!
We do hope that you join us in North Bridgton this September as we celebrate Black and Gray. All the Way!
