100 Years of Wooster
Celebrate Wooster's 100th Birthday!
The foundational elements of Wooster School’s ethos have remained relevant and strong throughout the last century, and as strong today as ever. We look forward to celebrating Wooster School’s 100th Birthday here on campus beginning on October 2, 2026, which is our Homecoming Weekend. In addition to some of our traditional Homecoming events, we will have a number of activities and memorial ceremonies specifically designed to honor our beloved school’s past, present, and future. Since no birthday is fully realized without a party, we will also be hosting a special dinner on Saturday, October 3, 2026 to remember, celebrate, and express our gratitude to the many people who have contributed to a century of the Wooster School experience for so many students and families. Once we’ve recovered from the party, we’ll spend the rest of the year reflecting upon the previous one hundred, with several special programs which will be presented both in-person and virtually for all Wooster community members.
