    • The parade will line up at Metzenbaum starting at 4pm.  It will kick off at 5pm, travel down Cedar Rd TURN AT 306 and enter the HS parking lot and then to the football field.  If you are in charge of a group/club/sport/activity (inside and outside of school) and would like to participate in the parade please let me know ASAP!  Please plan to stay late, or come early to the game, to support the students in the parade!  We are trying to make it the best ever, but if there is no one to watch it will be sad.


  • Homecoming Game 
    • Come cheer on the Wolverines as they beat Geneva!  The Homecoming Queen and King will be announced during pre-game.


  • Saturday, September 21st
    • Homecoming Dance - 8pm-11pm - The theme this year is “GLOW". It is really shaping up to be a great theme and year. We have a great DJ,and photo booth.  I am in need of some ticket takers for the dance.  You would need to come a little before 8pm and only stay until around 9pm (you do NOT need to stay for the entire dance!).  This is an AWESOME opportunity to see your students all "dressed up" and outside of the classroom.  Students are always excited to see their teachers at the dance, and I am always appreciative of those willing to help! As an added bonus, you get brownie points with the administration!


9th Grade Chromebooks - Chromebooks will be distributed to families on Wednesday, September 19, 2018 from 1:00 P.M. to 3:00 P.M. and Thursday, September 20, 2018 from 6:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M. If Chromebooks are not able to be picked up on either of the above dates, parents may do so in the main office during school hours during the week of September 24, 2018.

Here is a document that provides more information regarding our One-to-One Chromebook Program. Parents are asked to review these documents prior to picking up their student’s Chromebook. Chromebooks will only be distributed to parents.
