Homecoming Parade Rain Date Plan - If the homecoming parade would be postponed due to rain, the makeup date will be Friday, October 2nd at 4:30pm.
Who wants to make dinner on a rainy, busy night? No one!
The Freshman and Sophomore classes have you covered--for Thursday night at least.
Rain or shine, parade difficulties or not, come into the Commons before the pep assembly and enjoy burgers, hot dogs, cheesy potatoes, and more, all while raising money for the graduating classes of 2029 and 2030. (We can't believe those are real graduation years approaching, either.)
Dinner starts at 5:30! We'll 'c' you there!

Homecoming has arrived! Here is the full schedule of events for this week. We are very aware that Mother Nature is ready to supply us with plenty of water for our Under the C Homecoming theme. Later today we will be sending out a backup plan for the parade if we would need to postpone.
