ONCE A TORREY, ALWAYS A TORREY.

JOIN US FOR CENTENNIAL ALUMNI WEEKEND

AUGUST 28-29, 2026

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 extra-special Centennial Alumni Weekend festivities! All alumni are invited to join us as we celebrate 100 years of LJCDS.

Return to campus to:

  • Honor extraordinary Torreys at the inaugural Arts Hall of Fame and Alumni Awards Ceremony

  • Hit the pickleball court at the Torrey Alumni Pickleball Classic

  • Connect with fellow alumni and their families at the Alumni Family Picnic

  • Take a stroll down memory lane and explore new spaces on a self-guided or guided Campus Tour, offered throughout the weekend.

  • Don a hard hat and explore our soon-to-be-completed Hub for Human Impact

  • Cheers to 100 years of LJCDS with former teachers, coaches, mentors, and classmates at the All Alumni Reunion Event.

  • … and more!

We look forward to seeing alumni of all ages for a weekend of Torrey Pride!
