ONCE A TORREY, ALWAYS A TORREY.
JOIN US FOR ALUMNI WEEKEND
AUGUST 22-23, 2025
Our motto “Once a Torrey, always a Torrey” comes to life during Alumni Weekend, as generations of Torreys return home to LJCDS for a weekend of reconnecting, reminiscing, and community.
We are excited to welcome you back to campus for this year’s Alumni Weekend festivities! Join us to celebrate extraordinary Torreys at the Alumni Awards Ceremony, connect with fellow alumni and their families at the Alumni Family Picnic, take a stroll down memory lane on a Campus Tour, and reunite with former teachers, coaches, mentors, and classmates at the Reunion Event.
We look forward to seeing alumni of all ages for a weekend of Torrey Pride!
Need a place to stay? Enjoy our preferred rate at the Embassy Suites by Hilton San Diego La Jolla. More information below.
