Homecoming & Reunions
This year’s Alumni Homecoming Round-Up was a tremendous success, drawing over 100 alumni from the classes of 1982 to 2024 back to Houston Christian. Alumni from both Northwest Academy and Houston Christian enjoyed a full weekend of events, including a lively tailgate, the football game, the alumni room, reserved seating on the 50yard line, and class reunions. Special reunion celebrations were held for the classes of 1974, 1979, 1984, 1989, 1994, 1999, 2004, 2009, 2014, and 2019, with the classes of 1984, 1994, 2004, 2014, and 2019 showing the highest attendance.

Distinguished Speaker Series
We recently welcomed Jean Becker and Melinda Lamoreaux (HC Alumni Parent) for our Distinguished Speaker Series assembly at Houston Christian. Jean is the former Chief of Staff for President Bush in his post-Presidency years, and Melinda manages President Bush's Houston office, which was founded after his Presidency and is still utilized today by the George & Barbara Bush Foundation. They shared "Non-Googleable" vignettes about President & Mrs. Bush and we enjoyed listening to amazing stories. HC honored Melinda Lamoreaux and recognized her daughter Leslie (class of 2013) at the end of the awesome event. Pictured: Mindy Dickerson (Director of BCSL), Melinda Lamoreaux, Leslie ('13), & Jean Becker.
