Alumni Weekend

Return to the Little School on the Hill! Celebrating Years Ending in 1 and 6

FMS Alumni Weekend: April 24-25, 2026

Brothers, it’s time.
The hill is calling you back.

Join us this spring for Alumni Weekend 2026—where the bond forged in formation, under pressure, and in brotherhood comes alive once more. Walk the quad, salute the flag, and stand again with the men who’ve carried the Fishburne name with pride.

We’ll honor our legacy, celebrate our cadets, and pass the torch to the next generation of leaders. From reunion gatherings to the parade review, from reliving traditions to the annual memorial service, this weekend is yours.

It’s more than a reunion. It’s a return to brotherhood.
