This is Homecoming Week at Effingham High School for 2018.

The theme is "Welcome to New York". 

Today is Tourist Day, Tuesday is Twin Day, Wednesday is Class Color Day with coronation practice during 7th Hour and the Homecoming Parade at 6:15pm. The parade route is the same as in past years; lineup behind the library, then traveling west (the wrong way) on Jefferson Avenue to Cherry Street, south on Cherry to Grove Avenue, and then west on Grove to EHS. The parade marshal will be retired EHS Secretary Susie Cisna.

Thursday will be Spirit Day, with Homecoming games and powder puff football and an afternoon assembly.

There is no school on Friday (part of a four-day weekend including Columbus Day on Monday), but the Homecoming football game will be played Friday night at 7:00. Effingham will host Charleston at Klosterman Field. We'll have the game on 979XFM and www.979xfm.com. The Homecoming King and Queen coronation will take place at halftime of the game.

The Homecoming Court includes queen candidates Laney Osborn, Kaylee Phillips, Becca Webster and Keira Hirtzel and king candidates Kaleb Kihne, Ty Morrissey, Brayton Poland and Cooper Jackson. Junior attendants are Kennedy Collier, Rachel Sloss, Collin Waymoth and Eli Seaman. Sophomore attendants are Riley Arend, Savannah Morrissey, Gunnar Franklin and Jacob Stoneburner. Freshman attendants are Krista Phillips, Sawyer Althoff, Dalton Fox and Brayden Pals.

The Homecoming Dance will be Saturday night from 8 to 11pm in Gym A at EHS.
