This upcoming weekend, on Oct. 23, Johnston Senior High School will be hosting its 54th homecoming anniversary.

Due to COVID stopping us from fulfilling our usual activities for homecoming last year, we plan to make this weekend a phenomenal success!

All four classes have been working hard since the summer to make their floats that will be presented and judged in the parade.

We will be inviting the 2020 homecoming king, Justin Salvatore, and homecoming queen, Lala Olagundoye, to be a part of the parade and get a sense of what they missed out on last year.

The parade will start at 10 a.m. and the football game will begin at 1:30 p.m.

The following names are candidates for homecoming royalty this year: Joseph Acciardo, Jose Gonzalez, Carlos Monteiro, Ryan Schino, Joseph Vento, Janet Clements, Glorianna Crichlow, Charlene Hohlmaier, Rileigh Richards and Emily Iannuccilli.

This year's homecoming king and queen will be announced during halftime of the game.

Following the game will be the homecoming dance starting at 8 p.m.

It will be a great weekend for all students and parents, and whoever else comes and supports JHS!
