Calling all Wiltonians and WHS alumni: It's Homecoming!

Homecoming occurs every year and is quite a tradition at WHS dating back many years, but in these past few years the day has become much less well known and very much less attended. Students in the past have put in countless hours working on parade floats, have been trying to garner up town spirit, and have tried to make Homecoming a more communal event, but to no great avail. This year, WHS student government is trying to change that.

To mitigate these past problems, we helped change the Warrior’s soccer game to the morning as not to interfere with the festivities and we have changed the format of the day as to be more inclusive to the community. Not only are are having the normal parade, but we are also including a festival at the Guy Whitten field to attract more people; this festival will be run by WHS clubs and will try to attract better crowds. We will have games like ring-toss, face-painting, and other activities that will involve the whole family. Here is a list with the different clubs that will be helping out.

This event will be happening October 13th and the festival will start around 2 pm. The parade is scheduled to start around 2:30, so we would like some overlap with those two. The parade will include the famous WHS marching band and the homecoming court as well as sports teams and the student government. The football game starts at 3 pm when the Warriors will take on Brian McMahon. Our goal is to involve the town of Wilton more and to make the greatness of our high school better known!
