NHS students work behind the scenes to pull off the perfect parade

National Honor Society students are once again working to make sure this year’s parade goes off without a

hitch. The students help plan and organize the parade as well as assign the line-up and direct participants on the

day of the parade.

Lineup for registered parade participants will begin at 4 p.m. along Alger Drive, from Clark to the area beside the

bus parking area. (Please note: Only those groups who have registered will be allowed to participate in the pa-

rade.) The staging area includes the staff and student parking areas east of the high school and Davison Alterna-

tive Education. Motorists should also take note that the Oak Road entrance to the high school will be closed by 4

p.m. so please use the Lapeer Road entrance.

This year’s parade begins at 5 p.m. at Davison High School. The parade will continue west down Clark Street and

turn north on Main Street before ending near the library. Please use extreme caution when driving in this area as

school buses will be picking up students along Fourth Street to bring them back to the high school.

A special thanks to our police agencies—Davison Township, City of Davison and Richfield Township—for their

assistance with directing traffic, closing streets and helping to keep everyone safe.

The junior class representatives on this year’s Homecoming Court are Sierra Newcomb and Corran
