Quinlan ISD’s Homecoming Week Promises Biggest Ever Celebration
Quinlan Independent School District has filled homecoming week with a busy schedule of events including its first street dance, games, contests, pep rally and bon fire.
All events are free of charge except Friday night’s game against Emory Rains Wildcats.
Those attending were invited to take lawn chairs and "celebrate our past and honor our future." This core theme will be carried throughout Homecoming 2009, on t-shirts and more.
Forms are available to sign up for every event. Contact tiffony.hopper@quinlanisd.net for the homecoming parade and barbecue cook-off. Contact bonita.hobden@quinlanisd.net for the alumni football game, to order a homecoming t-shirt or to rent a booth in the Fall Festival.
