High School Homecoming This Week
Students at Castro Valley High School prepare for their annual Homecoming celebrations which will culminate in the Homecoming football games this Friday and the Homecoming Dance this Saturday, both at Trojan Stadium.
All week, students have been preparing for the big rally on Friday where each class will provide a dance, a skit, and a decorated float. This year’s Homecoming theme is "Lights, Camera, Action." Seniors have chosen to be dressed in black as Spies for their subtheme, Juniors are jumping into green attire for their Adventure into the Jungle. Sophomores will be donned in yellow for their Western subtheme. Freshman will be decked out in Fantasy white this week.
The annual parade leading up to the rally will be this Friday, October 7, at 1:00 p.m. The parade will start on Santa Maria, before turning onto Wilson and Redwood Road. The parade concludes in the Mabel parking lot, during which time students are expected to head into Trojan Stadium to watch the rally, which begins at 2:00 pm. The rally is open to the public as well.
Because homecoming is also about giving back, students are encouraged to gather clothing and toiletries for the CVUSD Community Closet.
Homecoming is the start of a yearlong spirit competition between classes. At the end of the year, the winning class will be etched into a new Trojan Spirit Cup.
