The mix. The energy. The culture. This is how we start the weekend.

Hosted by Private Skool Collective®, S.T.I.R. kicks off Homecoming Weekend with a cozy, grown-and-grown hangout built for one thing: connection. Alumni are flying in from across the country to be in this room — to reconnect with old classmates, link with new faces, and build the kind of network that actually moves you forward.

Because this is bigger than a reunion. The Collective spans five decades of Tampa Bay private school alumni — doctors, founders, executives, creatives, and leaders across every industry and every state. When this room comes together, careers get elevated, doors get opened, and your circle gets stronger. The conversation you have over a drink on Friday night could be the connection that changes your year.

Pull up to the historic Orlo House, just outside downtown Tampa, for the warm-up that sets the tone. Reconnect. Network. Start the weekend off right.

One cause. One Collective. It all starts here.

Early arrival strongly suggested.

This is where the next generation finds their fit.

Put your child on the pathway to excellence at our 2nd Annual Private Skool Fair — a full afternoon built for Tampa Bay families ready to explore what a private school education can do. Walk the floor, hit the school booths, sit in on real-talk workshops, and connect face-to-face with the students, teachers, and administrators who live it every day. More than 30 local private schools and educational programs, all under one roof, all here for you.

Shop. Connect. Celebrate. Whether you’re just starting to ask the questions or already deep in the search, you’ll leave with answers, resources, and a community in your corner. Bring the kids — this one’s for the whole family.

And like everything the Collective does, it’s bigger than the booths. The Fair is about opening doors, building access, and making sure every motivated student in Tampa Bay knows their options.

One cause. One Collective. Your child’s future starts here.

We’re closing out Homecoming Weekend the only way the Collective knows how — together, in style, and for the cause.

Pull up to the historic Orlo House & Ballroom for an afternoon where the live band meets the DJ, the throwbacks hit just right, and every decade shows up to represent. ’70s, ’80s, ’90s, 2K and beyond — young alumni, seasoned alumni, and the friends who feel like family. If you went to a Tampa Bay private school, came up around someone who did, or just move with the Collective, this is your function.

Good people. Good music. It’s grown-and-grown vibes where old friendships get rekindled and new ones get made.

And it’s bigger than the party. Every moment helps us give back — proceeds support St. Peter Claver Catholic School, the oldest Black Catholic school in Florida, and the students carrying its legacy forward.

One cause. One Collective. One unforgettable send-off.
