Homecoming 2016 | 150th Celebration

Revisit. Reconnect. Remember.

This Homecoming will be our biggest yet as we celebrate our 150th anniversary, showcasing our history and the influential relationships that continue to impact our community today. With this celebration, we are featuring new events that will help you rediscover your roots in Roberts and inspire you to make a difference in the lives of those around you!

Five year reunions will take place throughout the weekend. Reunion years (Classes ending in ‘6’ and ‘1’) have designated areas to meet during the Taste of Roberts: Hors d’ouevres & Reunions event on Saturday night.
