Join us October 16-18, 2026, for an historic, fun, and memorable celebration marking 100 years of Legacy, Warrior Pride, and Community! It’s a great chance to connect, remember, and honor the legacy of Booker T. Washington with friends and family. Don’t miss out on this special weekend filled with activities and good vibes. The $165 Centennial Registration Fee is your ALL-ACCESS pass to a historic weekend of reflection, community, and elegance. This comprehensive package ensures a seamless experience across our marquee events. "We Lead, and Others Follow"! See you there!

Info: Parade line-up will start at 8 am for groups and organizations marching in the Parade. The Parade celebration starts at 10 a.m. While the parade is a gift to the community and free for spectators to enjoy, your registration fee plays a vital role behind the scenes. It helps cover the high operational costs—from city permits and professional security to float logistics—that make a grand-scale procession possible. By registering, you are directly supporting the tradition and ensuring our milestone year marches along with the prestige it deserves. Come decked out in your Green + Gold attire and be prepared to cheer your hearts out!!

Info: The open house will include tours of the school, a fun Scavenger Hunt, and an Alumni Mixer, which will include themed "Mocktails", fun games with prizes, and a few other surprises!! There will also be food trucks and DJs to keep the atmosphere fun and energetic!!

Info: Prepare for an evening of unmatched sophistication. Your ALL-ACCESS pass fee includes entry to our premier formal event, featuring a curated multi-course dinner, live entertainment, and a commemorative program. This is the weekend's centerpiece—a night to dress your best and toast to a century of Legacy, Pride & Community, in a beautifully transformed venue. The Centennial Black Tie Gala, celebrating 100 years of excellence and legacy at the beautiful GuestHouse at Graceland.

Info: Join us for Worship Service and Brunch at Berean Missionary Baptist Church as we conclude our celebrations with a warm, communal brunch. Your ALL-ACCESS Pass includes a full buffet featuring local favorites, artisan coffee, and seasonal refreshments. It is the perfect opportunity to share final stories, exchange contacts, and reflect on the weekend’s memories before we head into the next century. BRUNCH starts immediately after service.
