McNicholas Hosts a Hollywood Homecoming

Rockets are rolling out the red carpet to celebrate Homecoming like movie stars the weekend of September 20-21. 

We will kick off the celebration with a Homecoming Pep Rally on Friday, Sept. 20. Weather permitting, the pep rally will be held at Penn Station Stadium beginning at 11:25 a.m. and will include a tailgate lunch. Parents are welcome to join us. Students will be dismissed at 1 p.m.  

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.
