Details to be announced.
Location: Spokes On Southern
The Buffalo Roundup will be held on the third Thursday in October (every year).
For over seventy years, the halls of Tempe High have echoed with the sounds of locker doors slamming, last-minute cramming, and the roar of the crowd on game night. From the sock hops of the 50s to the mixtapes of the 80s, from the Y2K buzz to the AI-powered class of 2025, we have all shared one thing in common: we are Buffaloes.
And now, it’s time for the entire herd to come home.
Congratulations to the 1970s decade for winning the 2nd Annual Decade Stampede (2025).
Thank you to the ‘ 70s Decade and the Class of ’75 for your time, efforts and support of Tempe High through the Buffalo Foundation.
Â
Thank you Luann Candler for representing and accepting on behalf of the 1970s decade.
Â
Next year we will announce the “Head of the Herd” decade winner and present the coveted Buffalo Mt. trophy at our 2026 Buffalo Roundup, so we can all celebrate together!
Â
Our apologies that the announcement this year was delayed.Â

All money provided by the Foundation must go directly to support students.
The Buffalo Foundation is the prime membership organization for Tempe High School. The Foundation was established in 2006 by a small group of Administrators and Faculty for the purpose of bringing together students, parents, faculty, alumni and community to celebrate Tempe High’s 100th Anniversary, and develop a sustainable financial resource which could provide funding and support for Tempe High, its students, staff, and educational programs.
The Buffalo Foundation provides financial assistance to Tempe High students, faculty, and staff, which enables them to participate in special activities when student activity funding is not available and allows them to more fully participate in cultural, performance and educational opportunities throughout the country.
We would like to thank Tempe businessman and philanthropist, Jerry Brock, for his continued support of the students of Tempe High School through his incredibly generous donations to the Tempe High School Buffalo Foundation!
It is because of dedicated volunteers and major contributors like Jerry Brock and Ira Fulton that we can render support to our alma mater.
