Area high schools announce 2025 homecoming dates

The tradition of homecoming has its origin in alumni football games held at schools across the country since the 19th century. It is the tradition of welcoming back former students to celebrate a school’s existence. 

Each year, festivities kick off with theme days for students. Most homecomings are celebrated with a parade, a football game Friday evening or Saturday, and the crowning of the homecoming king and queen.
