Rushville Fall Alumni takes place annually at Scripps Park on the Saturday of Smiles Day weekend. Smiles Day itself is always held on a Friday, the date of the RIHS Homecoming football game.
Fall Alumni officially started in 2011 and all Scripps Park events except class reunion banquets are open to the general public. In 2012, the longstanding Spring Alumni was discontinued to encourage all classes to meet at one time and celebrate during the Homecoming weekend.
The primary purpose of Fall Alumni is to renew old friendships by making it faster, easier and less expensive for people to reconnect. We are going about this in various ways.
The school tour on Friday before the game lets you mix with former classmates and teachers to see how the high school has changed since you were last there. We also have class reunion banquets at the Virginia for those who want to celebrate together in a group setting over dinner. The dance is for people who like a party-like atmosphere and the "quiet zone" is for everyone who wants to chat in a relaxed environment.
We've created the Rushville Fall Alumni Facebook group to help all alumni members reconnect privately online with former RHS/RIHS teachers and friends.
Any other suggestion for improving Rushville Fall Alumni are also greatly appreciated. It's perfectly understandable that not everyone will like everything we do, but we want to make sure there's something available for everyone to do.
Thank you for helping make Rushville Fall Alumni an organization we can all be proud of.
