West Side High School 2024 homecoming parade will be held on Friday, January 26 at 10 AM. It looks like the weather is going to be in our favor. The procession will leave from the city park and proceeded to the Brady Hipp Arena where we will conclude with the spirit stick presentation assembly. The parade will include our 2024 Homecoming Court, our basketball teams, our cheerleaders, as well as junior and senior student drivers. We hope you can come out.!
