UPDATE, Oct. 22: Due to injuries and unexpected circumstances, there will not be a JV game for homecoming. Some JV players have been brought up to play in the varsity game, which will begin at 7:30 p.m.

For homecoming week, Oct. 18-22, student leadership has planned dress-up days and special events prior to the football game against Fowler.

The annual traditions of the princess pageants, queen pageant and king dance — where the court nominees compete in stunts for votes — will be held during lunch and rally periods.

In accordance with the holiday theme, the freshmen will portray Veterans Day on their float, the sophomores will represent Independence Day, the juniors will portray New Year’s Eve and the seniors will represent Christmas.
