Alumni Weekend

Come back home - we’ve missed you!

Join us June 12th and 13th, 2026 for Prairie’s annual Alumni Weekend – two days of reconnecting and reminiscing with the people you love in the place that holds part of your story.

Friday night’s happy hour in downtown Racine is the perfect way to kick off the festivities, bringing together alumni and former faculty over food and drink.

On Saturday, June 13th, we’ll recognize some of your very own – people who have made an impact on TPS and their own communities in life post-Prairie – during the Alumni Celebration and Class of 2026 Hall of Fame induction. You can find out more about the Hall of Fame by visiting our website.

Register now for Alumni Weekend 2026. We can’t wait to see you in June!
