Dear Knight Families,
It’s finally here—Homecoming Week!
Our theme for the 2026 Homecoming Week is Board Games, and I’m going with Jenga because everything we do is building on something. As we build our new high school, we’re also building something just as important: new traditions in a new space.
Our Student Council has done an incredible job taking on that challenge and creating new traditions this year, including the All-School Cookout and the Knight March. They are putting their own Jenga pieces into the foundation of what Homecoming will look like for years to come. A huge thank-you also goes to our faculty and staff for supporting our student leaders and embracing the flexibility that comes with doing things a little differently this year.
Now, we need your help encouraging your student to be a part of the activities. There are great memories to be built! Decorating our hallways and floats, cheering on our Knights at volleyball, soccer, cross country, football, and marching band, experiencing the Knight March on Thursday night, and dancing the night away on Saturday. There is something for everyone! Here is a detailed list!
All the details are below. Let’s keep building!
Same Knights. Different Address.
Mrs. Seegmiller
