Artemis II mission commander Reid Wiseman to participate in Dulaney High's Homecoming Parade

TIMONIUM, Md. — Dulaney High School will celebrate one of its most famous alumni, astronaut Reid Wiseman, as he participates in the school's Homecoming Parade this weekend.

Wiseman was Commander of Artemis II, a mission that sent him and his crew around the moon and back in April- the first crewed flight around the moon since 1972- but his journey started in Baltimore County.

He attended Warren Elementary School, Cockeysville Middle School, and graduated from Dulaney High School in 1993.

The homecoming parade is Friday at 5:30 p.m., starting at Pot Spring Elementary School and ending in the parking lot at Dulaney High School.
