    • Kemp Homecoming has been held once every four years since 1956. It is known to be the largest event in the community, with thousands of visitors and alumni visiting Kemp during Homecoming weekend. Festivities include class reunions, alumni dinners, a parade, athletic events, and street dances. Many in the community, including students, have proposed a traditional annual Homecoming event for the students while keeping the alumni festivities a quad-annual event.
