Reunion Registration is Open, and It's Free!

Reconnect, reminisce, and celebrate the spirit of Darrow—June 6–8, 2025! 
This year, we’re shaking things up on the Mountainside! Inspired by the Shakers’ spirit of community, we’re calling all Darrow alums to return to the place where it all began—where memories were made, lifelong friendships were forged, and the view was always just a little bit better. 

No fees, just friends. That’s right—Reunion Weekend, June 6–8, is totally free to attend. All we ask? Instead of opening your wallet, we’re asking you to open your mouth. Spread the word to classmates, old roommates, and those you haven’t seen since commencement. Let’s bring the whole Darrow family back together.
