Homecoming and Reunion Weekend 2026

The countdown is on, and we can’t wait to welcome our fellow Navigators back to campus October 23–24!

From the Homecoming Tailgate on Friday night to a special on-campus reunion on Saturday, it’s going to be a weekend filled with old friends, great memories, school spirit, and plenty of reasons to celebrate what makes HRA so special.

This year, we’re rolling out the welcome mat for the classes of 1961, 1966, 1971, 1976, 1981, 1986, 1991, 1996, 2001, 2006, 2011, 2016, and 2021! Didn’t graduate in a “6” or a “1”? Come anyway. Navigators have been crashing parties since forever. Consider this your official invitation.

Whether you graduated last decade or several decades ago, there’s no better time to come back, reconnect, reminisce, and rediscover your HRA.

Your school. Your friends. Your memories. Your Navigator family.

Eager to remember my roots in Newport News at the reunion. Retired in 2025 from the University of Virginia Medical Center as a Data Base Administrator. Married Marty in 1984 and have two children Erin in 1991 and Hunter in 1995. We have moved a bit but spent most of our time in Midlothian.
