It’s Homecoming Week and the Student Council has lots of activities planned for us to show off our school spirit.

The first way that students can show their school spirit is by participating in our spirit themed days by dressing up. Tuesday - Early 2000s; Wednesday - Pink; Thursday - Country vs. Country Club; and Friday - Extreme Green & White
We have a pep rally in the stadium to show our team how much we support them. It will be held at the end of school on Friday, October 15th. Students who wish to avoid the large crowd of the stadium will be allowed to remain in the media center.
At 4:30 pm on Friday, we will have our annual Homecoming Parade from Ralph Drive and Jimmy Burns Dr. Hundreds of Cary High students and students from multiple feeder middle schools will march in our celebration. Parents, family, and friends are invited to line up along Walnut Street to watch the show.
The Varsity Football Team will host Apex Friendship HS on Friday, October 15th at 7pm. During half-time we will crown our Homecoming Queen for 2021.
Saturday, October 16, 2021, from 7-10 pm we will hold our Homecoming Dance on Cooper Field. It is CARY HS STUDENTS ONLY. Tickets are on sale at GoFan.co (not .com). Students will have to show their student ID before being allowed into the dance.
