What to know about Homecoming week

Back in 2019, classes competed for "best float" at a hot and muggy homecoming parade. Above, the "endangered 8th graders" drew the eyes of a crowd of spectators with their colorful jungle themed float and eager waves. The dozen-or-so parade entrants made their way down Division Street, around the American Legion and to the high school in time for coronation. Photo courtesy of the Messenger archives
