Homecoming 2024 is fast approaching. The schedule for the weekend of Sept. 27-28 will be printed along with this article. Check out the events of the weekend and come join us.
Registration and reception of members, pep rally, business meeting, football game, after-game street dance, parade, and Hall of Fame induction are some of our activities. We are most excited to welcome our four new inductees into our Groveton Ex-Students Hall of Fame.
Nominations were received in June, reviewed and approved by our nomination committee. We appreciate their time in selecting Taylor Hemness, Class of 2000; Gina and Jimmie Price, Class of 1973; and Jean Parker Rasbeary, Class of 1958. We are so proud of this most deserving group of inductees.
Their induction will be on Sept. 28 at 2:30 p.m. in the old gym. Please come celebrate with us. Please be aware of our Facebook page where you can stay updated on all the good news from Groveton schools and ex-students. Lots of good news and celebrations of accomplishments are posted there. Notifications of our Indian family’s final homecomings are also posted on this site.
Our sympathies to the families of Herman Nelms, GHS Class of 1962; Neil Kemper, GHS Class of 1960; Gerald Bloomfield, Class of 1945; Jeb Isaac Clemons, Class of 2002; Wynell Thompson Willis, Class of 1954; and Evelyn Courtney Clements, Class of 1953. Our prayers for comfort and peace are with all these families.
See you at homecoming.
