Homecoming 2013
Dawg Dynasty |  Midland High School will celebrate Homecoming '13 the week of 9-23 to 9-27. The tradition of Howdy Week continues as each day students will celebrate the theme "Dawg Dynasty". The Homecoming Parade will start at the COM Pool on A Street at 6:00 PM, traveling down A until they reach Illinois and Midland High School. A pep rally will be held after the parade at the Midland High School gym and the Homecoming King will be crowned. Celebrations continue Friday night as the Bulldogs take on the Permian Panthers. Before the game kicks off at 7:30, MHS will have a special presentation honoring the class of 2013, as the State Runner up Football team of 2012 (class of '13) will be recognized. The half-time tradition of recognizing and crowning the Homecoming Queen will round off the homecoming festivities as we look for the Bulldog football team to cap off the week with a district win!
