B.C. Rain High School

Good evening B.C. Rain Parents, Homecoming Week is off to an incredible start! The Homecoming Candidates did a PHENOMENAL job during Campaign Day! A huge thank-you to all the parents who helped with setup and cleanup — we truly appreciate your continued support! Our Homecoming celebration will continue throughout the week: Tuesday: 90’s Day and Teacher vs. Student Basketball Game Wednesday: Spirit Day – wear Red and Gray; Pep Rally Thursday: Trail Ride – Western attire and Trail Ride Dance Friday: No School-Distant Learning– Homecoming Game @ 7:00 p.m.; Homecoming Court presented at halftime Saturday: Homecoming Dance Regarding the Homecoming Dance, it was originally booked at the Holiday Inn Downtown on September 2. However, when our sponsors went to pay the deposit, they were informed on Thursday, October 3, that the OWNER had scheduled a wedding for the same night and could no longer accommodate our event. The hotel offered the Sky Bar as an alternative, but it was not an appropriate or reasonable option — it is a bar, smaller in capacity, and the price adjustment did not reflect their mistake. Our sponsors immediately began searching for another suitable venue on short notice, but unfortunately, none were available within our budget and timeframe. Despite the Holiday Inn’s POOR business decision, we are determined to ensure our students still have an AMAZING Homecoming experience! The dance will now be held in the school cafeteria, which will be completely transformed into a Red-Carpet Event! We are confident our students will enjoy a beautiful and memorable evening. We will not allow ANYONE to rob OUR students of their Homecoming Celebration! Thank you again for your ongoing support and Raider pride! If you have any questions or concerns, please call the school.

The Red Raiders brought their A game for HOCO campaigning! Thank you students and parents for your hard work and dedication. It's always a great day to be a Red Raider! ❤️🩶
