Alumni often share what they remember most about their time at NFA is the campus. The people, the buildings, and the sense of community. Homecoming is the perfect time to reconnect with fellow alumni, friends and family, visit campus, and cheer on our Wildcats!  Join us for friendship, music, and tailgating for your 2026 Norwich Free Academy Homecoming celebration.
