To celebrate the alumni of ORR, the ORR Bulldog Pride Alumni Association (BPAA), for the fourth consecutive year, will organize alumni events around the annual Homecoming game. The parallel events will be held on Friday, October 9, and Saturday, October 10.
The events are open to all ORRJHS and ORRHS alumni and friends of ORR. It’s an inclusive experience that hopes to bring together the shared alumni experience spanning seven decades from the Class of ’62 to the Class of ’26.
Friday, October 9, ORRHS Homecoming Football Game, kickoff 6:30 pm. Join us at a dedicated alumni area behind the end zone. Gather to learn about the meaningful and consequential work the BPAA is doing for the ORR community. Please note that to enter the grounds, all attendees are required to purchase a ticket. The BPAA is not involved in ticket sales for the game.
The Friday Night Lights social, for the second year in a row, will take place at The Stowaway in Mattapoisett, an alumni-owned business. The event starts immediately following the game. Complimentary light refreshments will be served. Special cocktails will be on the menu, and a portion of proceeds will be donated to the BPAA. A 50/50 raffle will be held, including a silent auction — no entrance fee.
On Saturday, October 10, the BPAA 4th Annual Alumni Homecoming Celebration will begin at 7:00 pm. Saturday’s celebration is to be held for the first time at alumni-owned River Junction in Marion, featuring a section for ORR alums. Complimentary refreshments will be served. A 50/50 raffle will be held, including a silent auction. The Class of 1991 will be celebrating its 35th reunion with us — no entrance fee.
Local businesses and alumni have contributed to our fundraising efforts to demonstrate our school pride for ORR. For the Class of 2026, the BPAA sponsored three awards totaling $5,000, in addition to launching the Grants Program, through which four grants totaling over $1,500 were awarded. For 2026-2027, the BPAA is committed to a fundraising goal of $10,000 to support the BPAA’s Mission & Vision 2036, a program dedicated to expanding giving and providing financial awards to underserved student populations. This will be achieved by small and large donations raised primarily through fundraising efforts during Alumni Weekend. This will allow BPAA funds to reach the wider ORR community by supporting projects and experiences for students.
Homecoming and Alumni Weekend 2026 is an opportunity for past students and graduates of ORRJHS and ORRHS to reconvene in proud support of our schools, and to establish an outlet for alumni and friends to volunteer and contribute resources in service to students, teachers and staff. School pride is the nexus for our efforts, and we know that graduates of ORR are immensely proud of their experience.
The ORR BPAA is a recognized charitable organization in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and operates as a Section 501(c)(3) non-profit. Donations to the BPAA are tax-deductible.
