Homecoming Changes

Attention students, staff, and community:

I apologize for the changes in information. In the announcement for homecoming, we mentioned the homecoming court would be honored at the homecoming game at 6 pm.

Due to several factors, the honoring of the homecoming court will be moved to half time. Also, our homecoming court will be escorted by a family member this year. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thank you,

Jeremy Sarver
