HOMECOMING WEEK 2026
September 14-19, 2026
A Patriotic Homecoming
This year’s Homecoming carries special significance as we celebrate America’s 250th birthday and mark the 25th anniversary of September 11th.
In honor of these milestones, we are hosting a Patriotic White Out at our football game on Homecoming Night, Friday, September 18th at 7:00 PM. We invite our entire community to join us as we celebrate our school, our town, our state, and our country.
We are calling on all active and retired members of our armed forces, police, and fire departments to join us on the football field at halftime, where we will proudly honor your service. Whether you are part of the STA family or a member of our broader community, you are welcome and we want to celebrate you.
Wear white, show your pride, and be part of a night honoring the people who have helped shape and protect the community we love.
