Students at DeKalb County High School showed their “Black & Gold” Tiger Pride Friday afternoon for all the community to see during the 2019 Homecoming Day Parade.
The motorcade, featuring class and club floats, Homecoming queen Malia Stanley and her court, the Tiger football, basketball, and soccer teams, Mr and Miss DCHS Isaac Cross and Emme Colwell, decorated automobiles, emergency vehicles, and more made its way from the high school down West Broad Street and then to South Congress Boulevard over to Smithville Elementary School and then north on Congress Boulevard to Northside Elementary where the DCHS band joined the parade enroute to the public square. The parade concluded with a brief performance by the band and a pep rally led by the Tiger Football Cheerleaders.
The Sophomore Class won first place in the float competition with the theme “Victory and Beyond-This Town Ain’t Big Enough for Tigers and Lions”
