Panthers, our Homecoming Candidates represent various teams and organizations on campus. All of them are awesome…but only two of them will be crowned King and Queen! Voting for Homecoming 2023 will take place during 4th period today, after the rally. Your teacher will have a Google Form that will be shared with you.
Be sure to support the candidates at the rally during 3rd period and watch them get crowned at the game this evening. The Homecoming BLACKLIGHT Dance will follow the game TONIGHT, Friday Oct.13th from 9:00-11:30 pm in the Sharman Gym. Your friends from other PUSD schools can get in–just remind them to bring their school IDs!
