Marching band, dance team, cheerleaders and last but not least — football players all gathered to celebrate homecoming 2024. At the pep rally, the kings and queen were crowned. Yes, I said king(s). The first time in the history of the homecoming royalty, there was a tie in the vote for homecoming king. Queen Soila Winter was escorted by two kings — Isaac Hatchitt and Owen Evans. The football team then continued their winning streak with an overwhelming victory over Des Moines North. We cannot leave out the victories of the volleyball team perfect in the Raccoon River competition. In cross country, the Tiger boys are ranked second in the Raccoon River Conference with the Tiger girls placing fourth at the Williamsburg meet.
Congratulations goes to the ADM Marching Band for their superb performance in the North Central Band Competition. After attaining Class 3A Champion they received the trophy for Overall Champion.
