Alumni from high schools across Monrovia marched through the city in a joint homecoming parade Saturday, with Vision TV's live broadcast drawing hundreds of viewers as former classmates reunited in the streets.

Alumni from high schools across Monrovia marched together through the city center on Saturday for what organizers billed as an "All Alumni Homecoming," a joint parade bringing together graduates of multiple schools in a single citywide procession. Local broadcaster Vision TV carried the event live, with the stream drawing several hundred simultaneous viewers and hundreds of likes and comments as it aired.

Footage from the live broadcast showed marchers in school colors and alumni-association T-shirts dancing and walking arm in arm along a main thoroughfare near central Monrovia, accompanied by drummers and a visible police escort. Groups of current students in school uniform, including girls in plaid skirts, also joined the procession alongside older alumni.

Among the identifiable groups was a contingent from Jimmy Johnson High School, marching behind a large banner reading "Back to School" as it passed a roundabout in the city center. In the comments under the livestream, viewers named other schools and institutions they recognized taking part, including a mention of World Wide Mission High School on Duport Road, suggesting the parade route ran through several neighborhoods rather than a single fixed location.

Liberia Today has not independently confirmed the full list of participating schools, the parade's official organizers, or its complete route beyond what was visible in the live coverage. The event nonetheless drew a large and visibly enthusiastic crowd, part of a recurring pattern in Monrovia of alumni associations using homecoming events to raise their profile and reconnect graduates across generations.
