🎉 Homecoming Week Reminder 🎉
Homecoming is right around the corner! Please note that Thursday, October 9th is the last day to purchase tickets—tickets are $15 each.
This can be the best week of the year for our students if they make positive choices. Please remind your student to be smart and responsible—students who receive suspensions may not be allowed to attend Homecoming.
Each year, the night before Color Day, some students go out into the community to participate in activities such as tee-peeing. We want to be clear—this is not school-sanctioned behavior and we do not condone it. For safety reasons, we will be asking for extra patrols around CMHS during the week.
Parents, we ask that you know where your student is at all times. Together, let’s make this a fun, safe, and memorable Homecoming Week for Eagle Nation! 💜💛
