Alumni Night

Alumni Night was held each spring and provided a chance to tour the school, meet up with old friends, enjoy some snacks and desserts and see all of the collected Western Hills memorabilia. You could then enjoy a show in the Main Auditorium, with music provided by the Alumni Band and Chorus as well as the presentation of the MAROON Award.
