With festivities at every turn, Delbarton welcomed back alumni from across the ages on Saturday, October 5. Thank you to all who joined us for the Alumni Golf Outing at New Jersey National Golf Club in Bedminster, NJ, the Hall of Honor Dinner, the Alumni Soccer game, and Homecoming Day 2024. To kick off the weekend, the Delbarton Council of Seniors hosted a Homecoming Pep Rally in the FAC that began with the National Anthem. Next came in-depth interviews with fall sports captains -- 'What's your relationship status?' --  a karaoke contest, and a well-produced 'lion loose on campus' video, a nod to the Pope John Lions, our Homecoming opponent. 

Mother Nature gifted us with picture-perfect weather for Homecoming Day, a balmy fall day with foliage just starting to put on a show. Alumni gathered at Ryan Family Field for a pick-up game (with no injuries) to launch Homecoming 2024.

By noon, Delbarton's campus had an overflow crowd of students, alumni, families, and friends who enjoyed grazing on picnic fare served at outstandingly decorated parent-hosted food tents. Many alumni and families also hit Delbarton Shop under tent a massive pop-up shop packed with great merchandise.

After a dramatic march down and run onto the field led by kilt-attired pipers with Student Body President Joe Artiglere '25 and his Senior Council...

...the crowd settled in to watch the Green Wave Varsity Football give its all against Pope John, earning a nail-biter of a win. The final score was 35-34 after a field goal by Will Kramer '25 with twenty-two seconds left in the game, bringing the team's record to 5-1.

After the football game, our alumni and families partied in the Garden while we snapped classic reunion class photos.

Thank you to all the students, parents, alumni, and Delbarton staff members for contributing exceptional energy, time, and talent to make Delbarton Homecoming 2024 an outstanding campus-wide party. Enjoy our favorite highlights from the day...
