Alumni Pavilion
The Mayfield Alumni Association has funded and built the Alumni Pavilion at the football stadium. The Grand Opening was held on August 28, 2015. The Alumni Pavilion serves student groups, class reunions, parent support groups at no charge and the community in general as a rental. The Alumni Association is promoting the Alumni Pavilion for Class Reunions. The pavilion is a perfect venue for Friday night ice breakers and Sunday brunches/cookouts. It even serves well as the Saturday night venue for mini reunions or small class reunions. The Alumni Pavilion is equipped with several enhancements that will make your reunion a fun and unique event. Two 55” all-weather TV’s are at each end of the 100 seat dining area. A fireplace is located under one TV and the Donor Plaque is located under the other TV. There is even comfortable wicker and foam cushion seating by the fireplace and stone wall (a perfect setting for spouses who don’t know many of your classmates!).
Connected to the Alumni Pavilion are private bathrooms and a concession stand. The concession stand can be used to organize and prepare food and beverages for your reunion. Alcohol consumption is permissible in the pavilion as long as there is no large student function in the stadium at the same time (five home football games). The concession stand is complete with abundant counter space, a large cooler, a large warmer, sink, microwave, a six burner grill, a large griddle, and an ice machine. All this equipment will be at your disposal, but you must bring all your own food and supplies. On average, 6-8 classes use the Alumni Pavilion each year. The Alumni Association also uses it for our annual Homecoming Tailgate Party, which usually has 200 – 300 attendees. The pavilion also has six radiant heaters and roller awnings for cooler days and also to protect the inside from rain.
The Alumni Association is deeply indebted to our two Premier Donors – Nancy West, Class of 1955 and the Ross and Michael DeJohn families. Without their expressed devotion to the Mayfield Schools and the Mayfield Alumni Association, this project could not have been completed. Other donors and classes who made donations of $750 are included on the perpetual plaque on display in the Alumni Pavilion.
