TR students celebrated Homecoming the week of Sept 9th. We showed our spirit with creative dress-up days and an exciting afternoon pep rally.

On Friday night, the Varsity Rough Rider football team took the win against Lee HS at Comalander Stadium. This made our feet dance with extra spirit on Saturday night as we ended the week with a festive Homecoming dance!

The years keep passing, twenty-one now, and Americans of all ages will never forget.
