T.R. Miller High School will be holding special activities throughout the week in celebration of their 2008 Homecoming.
The student body recently voted to elect a queen and court of attendants to reign over events planned for the celebration.

Alumni are also encouraged to deliver their parade floats to the front of the school between 8 and 9:30 a.m., Atkinson said.
Atkinson said school will be dismissed at 2 p.m. The early released will allow students and parents an opportunity to be on hand when the parade begins.

The parade will move down Evergreen Avenue to U.S. 31/St. Joseph Street to Belleville Avenue. The parade will disband just north of the Escambia County Courthouse on Belleville Avenue.

The festivities will be followed at 7 p.m. with kick-off as the Tigers take on Straughn High School.
