Cats Ignite Kicks Off Homecoming Week Tonight!

Henrietta fans, it’s time to fire up your school spirit! Join us tonight for Cats Ignite at 7:30 p.m. at Bearcat Stadium, immediately following the junior high volleyball games. This exciting event marks the official start of Homecoming Week celebrations for Henrietta ISD.

To help with traffic and accessibility, please note that the HISD Administration Building parking lot will be blocked off for handicapped and all-sports paid parking, just like during Friday night football games. A parking map is available showing all the open areas for general parking this evening.

So grab your friends and family, wear your black and gold, and come ready to cheer! Let’s light up Bearcat Stadium and kick off Homecoming Week with pride, tradition, and community spirit.
