The Homecoming Parade has been cancelled. Thank you to everyone that reached out and expressed their interest in participating. We will see you next year!

After consulting with many stakeholders, and the need to get the word out early for our participants, we have decided to cancel the Homecoming Parade Friday. With the forecasted rain most of the day, the band will not be able to march due to potential damage to instruments, and the floats would not fare well during the day in efforts to stay dry. Our football game vs. Denison is still on for kickoff at 7, but there may be delays of lightning is present. We will come back stronger as ever for HOCO next year ! Stingers Up! Thanks for understanding !

Congrats to one of our 4th graders, Peter Hopwood, who was recognized by the Council Bluffs Schools Board of Education tonight!

As a 3rd grader, Peter scored in the top 2% on the 2025 ISASP, earning him the opportunity to apply for National Math Stars’ support program.

We are so proud of you, Peter! Great job!
