Unfortunately, with the persistent rain forecasted for Friday in the Oklahoma weather, and out of an abundance of caution for the safety of all our participants, we've made the difficult but necessary decision to cancel the traditional Homecoming Parade. While we're sad to miss the parade, the safety of our students and community members is our top priority.
But don't worry—the celebration is still ON!
We are excited to announce that the Homecoming Ceremony will be moving indoors to the Sports Arena. We invite everyone to join us at 5:00 PM to see all the members of our fantastic Homecoming Court recognized and cheer as we crown this year's Homecoming King and Queen!
We look forward to an evening filled with school spirit, community pride, and a great ballgame afterward. Thank you for your understanding and continued support of our school and students!
Go Warriors!
