Happy Homecoming Week, VCS!

Get ready to have some fun when we celebrate homecoming with a parade, tailgate, and football game on Friday, September 25, 2026. All VCS families are invited and encouraged to attend! Here’s what you need to know:

1) The homecoming parade starts at 4:00 p.m. at Benjamin Franklin Middle School, continues down Campbell St., and ends at Valparaiso High School. Line up along Campbell St. to support our students marching in the parade!

2) There is a tailgate at VHS immediately following the parade, starting at approximately 4:30 p.m. We’ll have fun games, face painting, a photo booth, and tons of delicious food. Our talented culinary students at VALE will be cooking chicken kabobs and beef empanadas!

3) The homecoming game against Crown Point High School kicks off at 7:00 p.m. Tickets for the game can be purchased online or at the gate.

We’ll see you on Friday!
