GRIDLEY, CA (MPG) – Get ready, Gridley! Next week Gridley High School celebrates Homecoming!

Due to COVID-19, the typical Fall-Football Homecoming festivities are getting a spring re-fresh and some restrictions – big surprise. Unfortunately, this year’s students will not be building class floats. Instead, fun lunch-time activities are being planned, like tie-dying on Wednesday.

Some activities have yet to be announced, but we know the fun gets started Monday night with Football Follies. Keeping with tradition, the boys football team coaches the girls in a rousing game of flag-football out on the field beginning at 6:00 pm.

Friday, April 23rd, the high school will hold a Homecoming Parade through town, sans floats. The parade will follow the traditional route, heading west on Spruce St. to Indiana St., heading south to Sycamore St., then east back to the school.  Parade starts at 3:45 pm and will consist of students, athletes, and the homecoming court as they cruise through town. The homecoming football game begins at 6:00 pm, Gridley vs. Paradise with the crowning of GHS Royalty 2021 at half time.
