On Friday, October 5th, our Homecoming Assembly will begin at 12:35 p.m. During the assembly, students will show their skits and compete in a relay competition. At 1:45, students will dismiss to view the Homecoming parade, which will begin by 1:55 p.m.
After the parade, students will return to the gym for a final class competition, a bracket-style tug-of-war. All freshman will face off against all sophomores; all juniors will face off against all seniors, and then the winners of each will face each other for a final tug-of-war. Points will then be added to announce the class winner of Homecoming.
The Homecoming Queen will be revealed during the half time show that evening on Oct. 5th. Students will be invited to the field with their families, and we will do a trunk-pop on the princesses cars to reveal the queen.
