Libertyville High's Drive-By Homecoming Parade: Photos
Libertyville High celebrated homecoming amid COVID-19 times by "reversing" its parade.

LIBERTYVILLE, IL — Libertyville High School switched things up this year, hosting a drive through homecoming parade in on Saturday. Clubs, athletic teams and the homecoming court lined a route through the campus as parents, students and alumni drove by.
The band performed as did the cheer and dance teams. Cars drove through the campus between 10 and 10:45 a.m. to show their support and enjoy the turned around parade.
Typically, the homecoming parade route runs down Milwaukee Avenue. But amid COVID-19 times, students had to adapt.
