Alumni Events
Whittier Christian alumni are part of a lasting community that extends well beyond graduation. Our alumni events are designed to help former students reconnect with one another, celebrate shared memories, and remain part of the life of the school. From class reunions and milestone gatherings to casual mixers and homecoming festivities, these events are full of joy, stories, and meaningful connection.
We also host annual fundraisers and service opportunities that invite alumni to invest in the next generation of Heralds. These events are more than just celebrations. They are moments when our alumni come together to support the mission of the school and help students grow in faith, purpose and leadership. Whether you graduated recently or decades ago, your presence and participation matter deeply to our community.
We encourage you to stay involved and attend upcoming alumni gatherings throughout the year. Events will be posted here with details and registration links as they are announced. If you would like to help coordinate a reunion, host a regional gathering or learn more about supporting student life through alumni involvement, we would love to hear from you. Once a Herald, always a Herald.

1974 Whitter Christian Football Reunion: The Great Team
October 18, 2024
At the 2024 Homecoming celebration, Whittier Christian High School proudly welcomed back the 1974 Herald Football team for their 50-year reunion. Known as "The Great Team," this group made history as the first WC football team to win an Olympic League Championship. Their remarkable season helped spark a new era of excellence and tradition for Herald football. During halftime, the team was honored on the field and received a standing ovation from the school community, who came together to celebrate a team that laid the groundwork for decades of competitive success.
The reunion brought together many of the original players and coaches, some reconnecting for the first time in years. It was a meaningful and emotional evening marked by laughter, memories, and deep appreciation. The legacy of "The Great Team" still resonates on campus today, reminding current students of what is possible when teammates work with heart, grit, and unity.
