Hills-Beaver Creek High School celebrates Homecoming 2022 with activities that begin a new tradition and a new time for the homecoming parade.
New this year is a girls’ volleyball game played at 12:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 23, at the secondary school in Hills. The Patriots will take on Edgerton.
Both the elementary and secondary students are invited to watch. Edgerton will also bring its sixth- through 12th-grade students.
“We wanted to give our volleyball team a homecoming experience they will never forget,” said secondary principal Andrew Kellenberger.
“Having both student bodies in one gymnasium is going to give our teams that state competition crowd with a homecoming-spirit feel.
“Our student body plans to travel to Edgerton next year for their homecoming.”
Both the varsity and the junior varsity volleyball team will play Sept. 23.
The event follows the 11 a.m. parade through Hills, which is a new time for the event and includes elementary students participating.
Organizers caution that the volleyball game is a public event but spectators should expect a large crowd with standing room only viewing.
Homecoming candidates and class representatives were selected last week in preparation for the homecoming week beginning Monday.

The homecoming football game is 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 23, against Westbrook-Walnut Grove.
