Homecoming Parade to Return to Apache Junction High School

APACHE JUNCTION, Ariz. - Sept. 17, 2018 - PRLog -- Alumni will not be the only ones returning to Apache Junction High School for homecoming festivities. The Homecoming Parade, a long-standing tradition that was phased out more than a decade ago, will march again from 9 to 10 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 22.

The parade route will take place on an off-street course through the AJHS site. Parking, the parade route and spectator viewing area will be clearly marked. Floats from high school clubs, as well as floats from Desert Vista, Four Peaks and Peralta Trail elementary schools and Cactus Canyon Junior High will be participating.

"The Homecoming Parade is one of many traditions we hope to reinstate at the high school to showcase our school and community spirit," said Dr. Angela Chomokos, principal at AJHS. "Our goal is to start small this year, but we have a vision to grow the parade and festivities in coming years."

The parade will kick off a week's worth of festivities prior to the Homecoming Game against the Rams of Washington High School at 7 p.m. Sept. 28 at Davis Field, 2525 S. Ironwood Drive in Apache Junction.
