Brighton traditions burn bright as the football season arrives. The Brighton Alumni Association chaired by Krista Cullimore (BHS ‘85) has targeted this year’s football homecoming game for a grand reunion of all Brighton alumni. 

“We celebrated Brighton’s 50th year just before the old building was torn down and now we celebrate the new Brighton with homecoming celebrations.”

Three classes that are celebrating milestone years have targeted Homecoming 2025 as a component of their reunions. The class of 1975 celebrates its 50th, the class of 1985 celebrates its 40th and the class of 2015 celebrates its 10th. 

All Brighton alumni are welcomed to join the pregame festivities on the Arts Patio above the football field (enter prior to the game through the Brighton Arts Building). Tours of the newly rebuilt Brighton High School will be conducted at 5:30 and 6 p.m. Two Brighton alumni will be announced during the game as the latest inductees onto the Brighton Wall of Fame. 

“The tradition of honoring Brighton alumni who have distinguished themselves in various fields continues,” says Brett Nilsson (BHS ‘75) Brighton’s Wall of Fame Committee Chair.
