A full week of school spirit activities will lead up to the 2012 Coldspring-Oakhurst Consolidated Independent School District Homecoming celebration on Friday, Oct. 12.

Students and faculty members are encouraged to show their Trojan pride by dressing in different theme-inspired clothing throughout the week, culminating in a pep rally for grades K-8 at 1:45 p.m., and a pep rally for high school students at 3 p.m. on game day in the COHS gym.

Before the game on Friday, tailgating activities will heat up at 4 p.m. in the Coldspring-Oakhurst High School parking lot. Kick-off for the traditional Homecoming football game is at 7:30 p.m.,when the COHS Trojans face-off against the Splendora Wildcats. At halftime, the COHS Homecoming Court will be introduced and a king and queen will be crowned.

This year, for the first time, the Coldspring-Oakhurst Education Foundation will follow the football game with its fall fundraiser kick-off event, Alumni and Friends Meet & Greet, in the COHS cafeteria immediately after the game.

Superintendent Dr. LaTonya Goffney said, We invite all who can to attend the pep rally, to visit Trojan Tailgaters, and to support our education foundations inaugural event. We are also asking all fans to wear Trojan colors red, white and black to the game.

It is going to be a great night. We hope that many alumni return torenew friendships and we hope our community comes out to join us in celebrating the Trojan spirit.
