As a proud member of the RHS alumni community, one of the greatest traditions is returning to Ridgewood to celebrate Homecoming Weekend and reconnect with classmates. This year, Homecoming Weekend takes place October 9 and 10, 2026.

While Homecoming Weekend traditionally begins under the Friday night lights at RHS Stadium, the stadium fields have been closed for the season after failing recent GMAX safety testing. Instead, expect downtown Ridgewood to be alive with alumni returning home to celebrate and reconnect.

Despite the field closures, the Alumni Association is committed to delivering an unforgettable day on Saturday, October 10. The day begins with private tours of Ridgewood High School, followed by the Distinguished Alumni Ceremony. Several Class Reunions will also host reunion celebrations that evening. All RHS alumni are welcome to join us, with special recognition this year for classes celebrating reunions from graduation years ending in 1 and 6.

The Alumni Association is here to help you reconnect with classmates and plan a memorable reunion. Visit the Homecoming tab and select Class Reunions to find information about your class celebration, connect with your reunion chair, and access planning resources.

We look forward to welcoming you back to Ridgewood this October for a weekend filled with memories, friendships, and RHS pride!

And for those still in the area, we invite you to join us once again on Saturday, October 24 at 10:00 a.m. for the ribbon cutting of Alumni Square, our new gathering space outside the Little Theater. Come celebrate the completion of this special project and help us mark the beginning of a new tradition for generations of RHS alumni to come.
