The celebration will continue as the Rockets take on the Purcell Marian Cavaliers during the Homecoming football game at Penn Station Stadium. Kickoff is at 7 p.m. Students are able to enter the game for free with their student IDs. Tickets for friends and family will be $7 during presale and $10 at the gate.
All McNicholas students are invited to the Homecoming dance on Saturday, Sept. 21 from 8-11 p.m. on campus in the Bogenschutz Gym. Dance tickets are $17 each and are available for purchase online here. Tickets will not be sold at the door.

Students are permitted to be out of uniform in the following themes for the week leading up to Homecoming.
