HC Alumni News
Happy Summer, Mustangs! While it may feel like summer is just getting going, HC is about to start its academic year and we are looking forward to it! Our new faculty and staff arrive this week, teacher in-service starts for all on August 9 and we welcome students back on August 16th. Our 24th academic year will start with our traditional Camp Mustang, lots of school spirit and some special events that the Mustang Parent Council is introducing.

Events! At this point, Houston Christian is planning to be open this year to host alumni, student and family events like we did in the "before" times! This newsletter outlines many of the great things we have coming up this fall for alumni and alumni families.

Alumni reunions! This year our alumni reunion years all end in 1 or 6. We look forward to seeing how each class celebrates reunions this year! Please keep in mind that for Homecoming, class reunions, or class events, the alumni department at HC is here for you. We assist class agents and StuCo reps reconnect with classmates and help brainstorm different ways to host a reunion event - no matter how fancy or laid back it is. Also, please remember that HC Connects is your resource to connect directly with your classmates and friends. If you have not yet registered, please take a moment to do so.

Alumni updates! We hope you all had a safe and fun-filled summer - please take a moment to reach out to us and share your stories. Where have you traveled? Where did you volunteer or intern? Don't miss out on getting monthly newsletters, printed invites, or being emailed for pop-up events. Take the time to update us on where you have landed mid-college, post-college, or after any move. We love hearing from our alumni and are eager to re-connect with you!

HC Silver Frames
Summer is the best time to tidy up and we have some goodies for you!

In the last 5 years we have gifted silver frames to alumni and their families at graduation. We have some unclaimed frames that need good homes.

Each frame is engraved with the school logo and Class of 2017, 2018, or 2020.

Please reach out and let us know if you would like one. They are first come, first served.
