On Friday afternoon, September 18, 2026, Fresno High School hosted its annual Homecoming rally and skits, followed by a packed football game filled with students and parents. Attendees gathered to watch the game, the halftime performances, and the crowning of the homecoming royalty. Although the football team faced a tough 62-08 loss against the Chowchilla Union football team, school spirit remained high throughout the evening. 

The class and club skits began around 6:30 PM, with each group showcasing unique themes through creative acts: 

• Class of 2030: Alice in Wonderland 

• Class of 2029: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs 

• Class of 2028: Neverland 

• Class of 2027: Descendants 

• Link Crew: SpongeBob SquarePants, featuring custom themed shirts. 

• Cheer: Tangled, featuring purple jerseys, lighted lantern bags, and a flyer dressed as Rapunzel. 

• GSA: Shrek 

• Marching Band: Performed in standard marching uniforms. 

The student body voted for Homecoming Royalty throughout the week, with underclassmen voting early and seniors voting over a three-day period. During halftime, the nominees lined up with family and friends to await the results. Natallie Hernandez and Derek Amador were crowned the 2026 Homecoming Royalty winners to enthusiastic cheers from the crowd. As seniors celebrated their final Homecoming, the moment was particularly meaningful for them and their peers. The night concluded with photos, celebrations, and continued support for the team, leaving the crowd with lasting memories.

The Homecoming Rally kicked off strong, representing various sports, games, along with a beautiful performance from the Folklorico group and the Cheer team's performance at the home of the warriors, Fresno High School. 

On September 18, 2026, The Fresno High Leadership hosted “Once Upon a Homecoming Rally.”  This rally built up anticipation for our Varsity and Jv Football Team playing against Chowchilla at McLane Stadium on September 18, at 5PM for JV and 7 PM for Varsity. The rally included many games and chants making it fun and includable for all grades to participate, while being effective for the students and staff's entertainment. 

Some activities included Fresno High's chants, games competing with sports against other sports, and teachers who participated in friendly competitive games with each other. This was also accompanied by students participating in spirit week throughout the week before the rally which included themes like pirates versus princesses along with accessories that accompanied the themes. 

In conclusion, this rally brought many people together through various activities throughout the week and upheld our spirits to use them for the Homecoming Football game.
