Princeton ISD will turn Friday, Sept. 26, into a districtwide celebration as schools release early for Homecoming festivities.

The day kicks off with a pep rally from 11:25 a.m. to noon at Jackie Hendricks Stadium, where students from Lovelady and Princeton High will pack the stands to show their Panther pride. Students will be dismissed and picked up from the stadium beginning at noon. For those who want a midday meal, sack lunches will be available before dismissal.

Bus riders will board on the visitor side of the stadium, while car riders will meet their rides on the home side. Students with cars in the PSHS parking lot will be escorted back to campus.

Middle school students from Clark, Mattei and Southard will be released at 12:30 p.m., followed by elementary campuses—Green, Godwin, Harper, James, Lacy, Lowe, Mayfield and Smith—at 1:30 p.m. Both early childhood centers, Canup and Perkins, will release at 1:40 p.m.
