If you are planning on attending tonight's Grapevine High School Homecoming Parade, please see the latest update!
GHS is looking forward to the homecoming parade this evening! Unfortunately, the Texas weather continues its pattern of being unpredictable, and we know that there is the potential for some scattered storms within the metroplex this evening. We are closely monitoring the weather and will update our community if anything changes, but unless you hear otherwise from us, the homecoming parade is still scheduled to begin promptly at 6 p.m.
As an added precaution, should a storm pop up in the area, the City of Grapevine has committed to having spaces along the parade route available for our attendees to gather if there is a need to suspend parade activities.
Thank you for your cooperation and support as we prepare for another memorable homecoming at GHS!
