Fall Fling 51³Ô¹ÏÍøÊÓƵ
Fall Fling is an event geared to offer alumni from all classes a chance to participate in 51³Ô¹ÏÍøÊÓƵ activities in a one-day format on the Plainview campus. We hope you'll plan to come join us, and bring your kids to introduce them to your alma mater! We love our legacies, and we're planning some fun things just for them. Make it a family day in Plainview and come on out!
This event will also include a reunion banquet for alumni of the Pioneer Football program. It'll be an all-around great time of reminiscing and catching up in celebration of the 10th year of the revived program.
