Tiger Teams of 1968, 1992 to be Recognized for Homecoming

The Worth County R-III High School Student Council invites the Worth County Community to participate in “Homecoming 2018: Sounds of a Tiger Victory!” during the week of September 17.  With this theme in mind, the parade and the week’s events will focus on remembering past homecoming games.  Each class will select a particular genre of music (country, jazz, rock, etc.) in which to focus their parade float decorations.

“We hope that the whole community will join us for Homecoming 2018,” said Abbi Caddenhead, Student Council President. “We appreciate the support from businesses and community organizations which continues to increase each year.”  If your business or organization would like to participate in the parade or in the business window decorating contest, contact the High School Office at 564-2218 for more information.  Political candidates are welcome to participate, but they should notify the HS office for further instructions. All participants in the parade may HAND OUT candy, but should NOT THROW candy from vehicles for safety reasons.

The Homecoming event will also be a time to remember the alumni of Worth County.  “We have invited the homecoming queens of 1968, Teresa Stephenson Zellner, and 1992, Jessica Groce to serve as the Grand Marshals of this year’s parade,” said Merrideth Spiers, Student Council Vice-President.
Events during homecoming will include spirit days throughout the week. The annual homecoming parade occurs on Friday, September 21, with the coronation of Homecoming King and Queen to follow the parade at the High School football stadium. An alumni reception with this year’s Royal Court at the Senior Center is open to all community members after the coronation ceremony.

Homecoming week culminates under the Friday night lights with the football game against the King City Wildkats at 6:30 pm.  The homecoming dance for students in grades 7-12 will start after the football game ends in the multipurpose room of the elementary.
