Friday, September 23 – Homecoming Senior Tailgate – We are so excited to celebrate CCS Homecoming with the Class of 2023. This year, we are starting a new tradition by organizing a senior tailgate on the baseball field before the football game. During this time, only seniors and their parents are allowed on the baseball field. There will be food trucks on campus, but students are also encouraged to bring their own food and beverages to the tailgate. Students must enter the field to park between 5:30-6:00 P.M. Students should drive through the gravel lot to the lower left field entrance next to the storage sheds to join the tailgate. Mrs. Clarkson will be directing students where to park. If students are late, they are welcome to walk down to the field and tailgate with their friends. Students are not required to park on the field to enjoy the tailgate. Students who parked for the tailgate may only drive off the baseball field during halftime and after the football game. For the sake of safety, they may not come and go as they please. If a student needs to leave the game early, they should move their car during halftime. If these times do not work for a student’s plans, they are encouraged to park in the parking lot. We are looking forward to a fun, safe, and memorable evening cheering on our Knights!
