HARLINGEN – Last week it was the Hawks, this week it’s the Cardinals.
The Harlingen High School Cardinals will hold their Homecoming parade tonight at 6:30, beginning on the northeast side of the school on 13th Street. Bands and colorful floats will move slowly down Marshall Street and circle around 7th Street.
Crowds will line both sides of the streets as the procession passes.
“Everyone will then make their way into the gym for the pep rally,” said Principal Imelda Munivez.
They will then head to an empty lot next to the Harlingen School of Health Professions at 2302 N. 21st St. That’s where the bonfire will take place, setting ablaze a large “H.”
Friday, the Cardinals will play Weslaco High School. The homecoming dance will be held after the game in the HHS cafeteria.
Munivez said there are some discussions to release yellow balloons tonight in honor of Nick Peters who died Monday from leukemia.
