Homecoming 2013

Homecoming…a time to come home to traditions, fellowship, 12homecomingand fun.  In the elementary world especially, our young learners may not completely comprehend the hoopla, but they most certainly love a great parade…and they squeal with delight when our Midlothian Panther Football Readers catch up to them too!

The annual Homecoming Parade has traditionally been a big deal in Midlothian ISD and this year is certainly no exception!  Our supportive learning community, students, and staff members truly enJOY showcasing their hometown Panther Pride and Spirit.  Please mark your calendar for this year’s parade on Friday, September 27 at 3 p.m.  Don’t forget to get your tickets early for the big game and come out to support the MHS Panthers as they tackle the Grand Prairie Gophers at 7:30 p.m. at the MISD Multi-Purpose Stadium.

We look forward to seeing you there!
