WISCASSET

Students will participate in week-long Wiscasset High School homecoming events that begin on Friday, but alumni are encouraged to come and watch.

The week of fun begins with a kickoff assembly at 2 p.m. Friday, in the high school gymnasium. There’s a tailgate party in the back parking lot at 4 p.m., soccer games under the lights and a bonfire at 9 p.m.

“We really, really would love alumni to come and support the soccer teams playing under the lights,” said Debra Pooler, a technology instructor at the high school.

The festivities will continue through next week, and conclude on Friday, Sept. 21, with “red and black day.” The dance is from 8 to 11 p.m., featuring the crowning of the homecoming king and queen.
