Homecoming Parade Route

FLOAT PARTICIPANTS WHO HAD PLANNED ON WALKING OR HAVE CHILDREN SHOULD CONSIDER THE LENGTH OF THE ROUTE.

All Floats and Parade Entries will line up in the front High School parking lot between 1:00-1:50 PM. All other cars should be in the back parking lot. 

Are you passing out candy?

  • Candy will be thrown out by participants in the parade. 

  • Please advise children to not run in the street. 

  • Remind kids to throw to little ones' feet and not at any faces.

Lining Up Floats/New Drop-off

The Floats will line up in the front parking lot with the band leading us off and the homecoming candidates after. The sports and activity floats can fall in as you arrive, just line up behind the float that arrives before you. Towards the rear of the parade, we will have our Fire/Police and then our horses. 

*NEW DROP-OFF: If you have a child in elementary or middle school who is riding on a float, we ask that you drop them off in the back parking lot, and then walk to the front to find their float. This will allow for less traffic in the front of the school and safer drop-off for the children.

We will not allow cars to enter into the front parking lot unless you are a float! Stuco members and signs will be in the back and front to help guide your child to the correct float. 

It's very important you communicate with your float participants- especially if there are little ones or parents who are dropping off.  We will have Stuco there to direct and deliver kids, but you might have a better system or someone to gather, collect, and deliver kids to float and back to parents.  

Your float is encouraged to have a theme and decorate however you want.  The overall Homecoming theme is “Tides Collide!” (opposites: Sea vs. Space, Country vs. Country Club, etc.), but anything close will be fine. There will be voting and awarding for the best float.

After the Parade

  • 3:30-6:00 we will have bouncy houses, face and hair painting, and food trucks.

  • 4:00-6:00 will be the Cornhole tournament. Sign up here

  • Coronation will be pre-game at 6:30 and the game is at 7:00 pm vs. Rose Hill!
