Rockwood Celebrates School, Community Spirit with Parades, Events

Each fall, our Rockwood School District schools showcase their community spirit through a variety of activities, including parades and homecoming events!

Marquette High held its homecoming week Sept. 16-21, celebrating Mustang pride with theme days at school and annual traditions such as Taste of Marquette -- gathering families and community members to sample food from area businesses -- and the Senior vs. Junior Women's Football Game!

Check out highlights from Marquette students Angel DiSalvo and Owen Plein during the MHSNews Rockwood Instagram takeover for more fun from homecoming Friday.

Representatives from Fairway, Green Pines, Pond and Ridge Meadows elementary schools and Wildwood Middle also participated in the Celebrate Wildwood parade Sept. 21, bringing their school mascots along for the good times!

Rockwood Summit High celebrated its homecoming week Sept. 23-27. Even though the annual homecoming parade was canceled due to weather, all of the Fenton quadrant schools still had a great time celebrating their community spirit!

Our Rockwood schools were well-represented at the Eureka Days parade Saturday, Sept. 28. Students and groups from Eureka High, LaSalle Springs Middle, Blevins, Eureka and Geggie elementary schools and Rockwood Early Childhood all joined in on the fun and festivities!

Eureka High began a new homecoming tradition this year with a Kindergarten-Senior Walk! Around 100 kindergarteners from Eureka's feeder elementary schools started at one end zone on the football field, seniors started in the other end zone and they all met in the middle, with the Class of 2025 presenting the Class of 2037 with bracelets as gifts.

The goal is strengthen the EHS community and relationship with younger students and families, so they feel connected to the high school from early on in their educational journey!

Lafayette High celebrated its Homecoming Week on Friday with a day full of activities, including a parade before the Lancers football game that featured Lafayette student groups and representatives from elementary schools such as Babler, Chesterfield, Green Pines and Pond!

Friday, Oct. 4, was homecoming Friday at both Eureka and Lafayette high schools, and we celebrated by having some of our awesome student journalists from Eureka and Lafayette take over the Rockwood Instagram page.

Yearbook junior editor Anna Brotherton, design editor Anna Mowry, broadcast executive Lexi Helms and sports media producer Emily Emerson of EHS-hub covered all the action from Eureka homecoming, and The Lancer Feed editor-in-chief Maddy Cox and Legend yearbook photo editor Maddie Roberts covered the events at Lafayette!
