Homecoming 2022
For the first time in three years, the Hargrave family was able to reunite on campus. With a fair bit of catching up to do, we celebrated the following reunion classes: 50th – ‘72, ‘71, ‘70 : 40th – ‘82, ‘81, ‘80 : 35th – ‘87 : 30th – ‘92, ‘91, ‘90: 25th – ‘97 : 20th – ‘02, ‘01, ‘00: 15th – ‘07 : 10th – ‘12, ‘11, ‘10 : 5th – ‘17 : 1st – ‘21, ‘20, ‘19.
In addition to regularly scheduled Alumni Weekend activities, we proudly dedicated the Dot Blair and Mary Tallent Reading Center. Hargrave would like to thank all who have supported the reading program and would also like to give a special thank you to Proctor Dean, class of ‘84, for making the Dot Blair and Mary Tallent Reading Center possible.

Head Coach Thomas Messinger was named South Region Coach of the Year. Additionally, a handful of our postgraduate team members (pictured below) earned postseason honors for their accomplishments. These are national awards, with the candidates selected from hundreds of postgraduate programs from coast to coast. Inclusion on these lists is a huge feather in the cap to these young men that had a tremendous season and represented Hargrave well:
Keon Thompson, Jr. (2nd Team All-American)

Note from the Infirmary
The Infirmary has already started to pack all medications so that they may be sent home with cadets or picked up in the Infirmary. Please check any travel requirements your cadet may have such as needing a COVID test. We are happy to provide this testing for your cadet. Please email or call to confirm what type of test is needed and when the test should be performed.
