Homecoming 2018
We celebrated Clarke’s Homecoming and 175th Anniversary with a variety of fun events. On Friday night, the class of 1968 celebrated their Golden Reunion with a special program and delicious meal. Other classes opted to enjoy food and drinks on the mighty Mississippi aboard the American Lady Yacht. Saturday's events included the Alumni Recognition Award Brunch, Tailgate Party, and special dedication event for the new athletic fields, weight room, and locker room facilities. The weekend wrapped up on Sunday morning with Mass at St. Raphael’s Cathedral. Thank you to everyone who was able to attend.
