There's no better time to cheer on the Fighting Frogs than at Maret's annual Homecoming celebration. Each year, Homecoming kicks off with a rousing K–12 Pep Rally in support of our varsity teams. The weekend is filled with fun activities for all of our families, and we also welcome back to campus our community of Alumni Frogs.

They also surface and process student issues, acting as a critical liaison between students and the faculty and administration.
