The Whitewater Unified School District (WUSD) invites students, families, and the greater Whitewater community to take part in its 2024 Homecoming festivities during the week of September 30.
A variety of events will be held throughout the week district-wide, culminating in the Homecoming varsity
football game against the Jefferson Eagles on Friday, October 4. Kick-off will take place at 7:00 p.m.
“Homecoming is a wonderful opportunity for our entire community to come together and celebrate the
pride, spirit, and tradition of Whitewater,” said Dr. Caroline Pate-Hefty, Superintendent of Whitewater
Unified School District. “We encourage everyone to support our students by participating in the events,
decorating their homes and businesses, and cheering on the Whippets at the big game. With the
community’s help, we look forward to making this Homecoming a memorable one.”
Community members are also invited to attend a spirited Lip-Syncing Competition and the long-standing
tradition of “Burning of the W” at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, October 2, at Whitewater High School. The
evening will include student performances, followed by the ceremonial bonfire.
