Due to a recent change in Indiana Department of Education laws, the schedule for the Friday of Homecoming week differs from last year. According to principal John Williams, schools are now required to have at least six hours of instructional time per day for 180 days.

“We can no longer legally dismiss school as early as we have in the past on Homecoming,” Williams said. “We’re very, very committed to maintaining the Homecoming atmosphere. The day will be different and there will be more class time involved.”

The alterations include omitting an all-school convocation and shorter time at the stadium. The trike races leading up to the finals will be held Thursday night beforehand.

Despite the changes, Williams said he hopes students will still participate. He said, “It’s an important day, and I don’t want it to go away.”

Lunches will take place during either the first or second G2 time depending on the student’s SRT class.
