Get Ready for Walker Homecoming – October 24, 2025!
Get ready for Homecoming - Friday, Oct. 24!
Homecoming is a time for celebration at The Walker School for students, families, faculty, alumni and the community. The week leading up to the big homecoming football game will be filled with fun dress-up days and school spirit-building events across all divisions. Our biggest community event will be 2025 Fall Festival and Tailgate Party leading up to the Wolverine's Homecoming game. Check this page for all the details about this exciting week at The Walker School.
All of the festivities will take place on Walker's main campus (Fall Festival will be on Coles Field behind Coles Gym), and a variety of food options will be available for purcahse so families can remain on campus until game time. Please bring your tailgate chairs, friends and neighbors to enjoy a great afternoon at Walker. The Fall Festival and Tailgate Party are sponsored by The Walker School Association (WSA) and The Wolverine Club. POTA will sell pizza at the event!
Block off the afternoon and spend the day at Walker! It's going to be a fun event for the whole family!
