It's the week that high schoolers and alumni all look forward to in Clinton: Homecoming.

Clinton High School Principal Jerry Wayne explains that Homecoming week starts with a day off for students; however, teachers will still be in the building for a School Improvement Plan Day. He says the scheduling of this day is an intentional choice. 

This week's dress-up days will feature classics like pajama day, but all with a Harry Potter-themed twist. He adds that the theme may also appear in some of the Homecoming Parade floats. 

It wouldn't be Homecoming week without the Powderpuff Football game, where Clinton's junior girls take on the senior girls. Wayne reminds us that the game is on Wednesday night at 7 PM, and takes place in the gym, a successful change that came about by accident. 

The Homecoming Parade will kick off Friday's festivities at 3 PM and leads right into the football game when the Maroons take on the Tri-Valley Vikings. 

Wayne hopes that the community shows their support for the Maroons all week long, and especially at this Friday's parade and Football game. Hear all the Homecoming football action on WHOW and all its digital platforms.
