You’re Invited!
This year's Family Weekend should prove to be a great experience for you and your Javelina student. The Family Weekend Team is working hard on several activities to make the weekend a memorable occasion for everyone.
Somewhere between the mini-lectures, the theatre arts production, the movie, ventriloquist- Lynn Trefzger, the Family Weekend tailgate, and the football, you will experience what it means to be a Javelina! We hope to see you here.
