This year’s homecoming theme is “Around the World.” The night kicks off with the homecoming parade starting at 5 p.m. from Lee Elementary School. The parade route travels west on Main Street then turns left on Bender Road to the south parking lot of the high school. Many school teams, clubs and groups will be marching or riding floats in the parade along with members of the 2023 Homecoming Court.
After the parade, there will be pre-game tailgate festivities including games, food and much more to get everyone ready for the homecoming game.
Another pre-game event is the TK Alumni Association presentation of the Distinguished Alumni Awards. This is a prestigious award recognizing graduates who have made a difference in the lives of others and have gone above and beyond in their chosen fields, earned significant distinctions and given back to their community and school. The Alumni Association presented the first Distinguished Alumni Awards at the 2017 homecoming.
The TK Trojan Marching Band makes a spectacular sight as they enter the stadium to the cadence of the drums. In addition to being in the parade, the band will perform their pre-game show prior to the 7 p.m. kickoff. The band will return during halftime and provide music from the stands throughout the game.
Halftime festivities will also include introduction of the homecoming court and crowning of the homecoming king and queen.
The Trojans take on the Ottawa Hills Bengals in the homecoming game.
