Cat Tracks HOCO Edition 2026
September 28th - October 2nd
Welcome to HoCo Week
Wildcat Families,
Homecoming week is almost here. I am excited to celebrate with our students, staff, families, and community! Homecoming is one of those special traditions that brings our school community together and gives students an opportunity to show their school spirit, enjoy time with friends, and create memories that they will carry with them long after their high school years.
Throughout the week, our students will have opportunities to participate in dress up days, activities, pep fests, athletic events, and of course, Friday night’s Homecoming Dance following the football game. We are putting together an evening that will give students another opportunity to have fun together, celebrate, and make some great Homecoming memories.
What makes Homecoming special is not any one event. It is the energy and enthusiasm we create together. I encourage our students to get involved, show their Wildcat spirit, and make it a week to remember. I also encourage our families to join us when you can, cheer on our students, and help us make this a great experience for everyone.
I am grateful to be part of a school community that values both excellence and belonging. Homecoming gives us a chance to celebrate both, and I am looking forward to a great week together.
Go Wildcats!
Brent Stavig
CLHS Principal
