North Springs Homecoming Celebration Marches Into Sandy Springs

North Springs Charter High School on Friday and Saturday will top off its Homecoming celebration with a barbecue and parade.

The Spartans’ Homecoming game, tailgate and alumni barbecue will be held on Friday, Oct. 24 and the Spartan Parade on Saturday, Oct. 25; all alumni and community friends are invited to attend.

Friday night’s festivities begin at 5 p.m. with Future Business Leaders of America’s tailgate complete with food trucks, games, dunk tank and the sale of 2014 Viva Las North Springs black out t-shirts — a nod to this year’s Las Vegas theme. The alumni barbecue will start at 6 p.m.

The Spartans, back at home after their big upset against neighborhood rival Riverwood International Charter School, will take the field for the football game against Forsyth Central at 7:30 p.m. Presentations of the court and crowning of the homecoming king and queen will occur during halftime.

The Spartan Parade, led by the Marching Spartan Band will step off at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 25 from Woodland Elementary and proceed down Spalding Drive to North Springs Charter. The road will be blocked to traffic, thanks to the city of Sandy Springs and its police department..
