CCHS Homecoming royalty announced

By James Grob, jgrob@charlescitypress.com

Charles City High School is ready to paint the town “Orange and Black.”

CCHS Homecoming will get back into full swing next week, with pep rallies, ball games, Comet decor, special days and festivities and the annual crowning of the CCHS Homecoming king and queen.

Homecoming Royalty, announced Thursday, are queen candidates Alyvia Vance, Hannah Lahner, Lydia Staudt, Rachel Chambers and Michellel Jones, and king candidates Colton Crooks, Chase Crooks, Tino Tamayo, Ian Collins and Mario Hoefer.

The fun gets started on Tuesday, as there are no classes Monday due to a teacher professional development day. The theme for Homecoming this year is “Night of the Comet.”

The Charles City High School student tailgate will be at 11 a.m. on Friday, with the pep rally at Comet Gym starting at 1:30 p.m. The coronation will be at 2:55 p.m. on Friday, and the parade will start at 4:15 and run down Main Street.

Dress-up days at the high school and middle school this year will be “Color Day” on Tuesday, “Dress Like Your Favorite Teacher Day” on Wednesday, “Generation Day” on Thursday and “Orange and Black Day” on Friday.

The community tailgate will be at 5 p.m. on Friday, which is when the freshman/sophomore football game will start. The Homecoming Court candidates will be introduced before the varsity football game against Center Point-Urbana, which begins at 7:30 p.m. The CCHS Marching Band and Dance Team will perform at halftime, and the Homecoming Dance will start at 9 p.m. in the high school cafeteria.
