Due to today’s conditions, we will be using a shortened parade route. The parade will turn east at the park, head south at the next intersection, and then return to the school.
And remember—you only get one chance to see the parade this year! There won’t be a second trip through town, so find a good spot, give us a wave, and take a good look the first time the Pirates go by!
PS: The band may not be playing due to the wet conditions.

A couple of quick notes about tomorrow’s Homecoming festivities:
1.) Homecoming Parade: We are hoping to hold the parade as scheduled, but with the weather forecast, please keep an eye on social media for any updates or changes.
2.) School Tours: School tours will be available following the parade. Anyone interested should meet in the school lobby, located just inside the south glass doors.
3.) Game Parking: Due to the wet conditions, parking at the football game will be limited. Areas where parking is not permitted will be roped off. In general, parking will be restricted to the gravel area on the north side of the field. We appreciate everyone’s patience and cooperation!
4.) Burning of the “A”: Immediately following the game, we will hold the traditional Burning of the “A” at midfield. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to stay and be part of this Homecoming tradition!
5.) The Booster Club will be selling Pirate apparel and providing the tailgate at the game. Our Boosters do an incredible job supporting our students, activities, and school throughout the year, so be sure to stop by, grab some Pirate gear, enjoy the tailgate, and show them your support! Thank you, Booster Club, for all you do for Pirate Nation!
We’re looking forward to a great day of celebrating our students, alumni, school, and community. Go Pirates!
