Alumni and Friends - Year in Review Highlights!
Pack the Place
Pack the Place was an incredible night at the George T. Jorndt Athletic Complex! The
Trojans went head‑to‑head with the Malcolm X Hawks, and the energy was electric from
start to finish.
In coordination with Student Services and the Triton College Bookstore, Alumni & Friends had a fantastic evening reconnecting, cheering on our Trojans, and celebrating campus pride. The crowd brought amazing energy, and attendees enjoyed Triton giveaways along with brand-new alumni fan gear from the bookstore.
Both games delivered excitement, school spirit, and unforgettable moments, truly a
memorable night for our entire campus community.
Reunion at the Ballpark
Reunion at the ballpark with Alumnus Lance Johnson brought great energy, great vibes, and even better company. Triton took the win over Kennedy‑King, making it the perfect night to celebrate the legacy and pride of our alumni community. A truly special evening all around, filled with connection, school spirit, and unforgettable moments.
