Homecoming 2026 – One for the Books!

Homecoming week kicked off Wednesday with the PTO-sponsored HOCO Tailgate Ram Fest, rolled into a 44–6 win over Wisdom at Delmar on Friday, and wrapped up Saturday night at the PTO-sponsored Homecoming Dance.

It’s hard to capture every tradition and special moment, but these smiles say it all!

Thank you to our teachers and staff, and all the parent volunteers who made all of this possible!
