As San Clemente High School wraps up homecoming spirit week with the SCHS homecoming parade held on October 5, 2018, residents from all over San Clemente came to watch. Each sports team and extracurricular walked in the parade gaining attention from all the people of San Clemente. People up and down the street were cheering as the floats, students, and cars went down the street of Del Mar.

• The SCHS marching band kicked off the homecoming parade with their amazing talents and warm and bright sounding music. It is such a joy to hear them play and the people of San Clemente were left in awe. San Clemente resident Angela Summa said, “I thought that the marching band was extraordinary and started off the parade with so much San Clemente pride. It was so cool to see them lead their school with no cars only residents lining the streets.”

  

• Next walking down the street of Del Mar was our varsity football team. They won the homecoming game against El Toro 63-13, making them score in league 2-0.
