Homecoming Events

UPDATED Homecoming Events

 

It's Homecoming Week at "The Lady on The Hill," 21-26 October 2024.  It's been happening "On The Hill" since 1916 when the building was opened to students on 18 September that year. El Paso High has been graduating students since 1887 and Homecoming is truly a celebration for students and alumni through the years since.
 
Students will be observing Homecoming throughout the week with decorations of halls in the academic building, daily costume themes ending on Friday with Tiger Spirit garb, and, of course, a Homecoming Dance on Saturday night.  Listed here are events to which EPHS alumni are welcome and encouraged to attend:

Because of high demand and congestion, the EPHS Alumni Association sells snacks and beverages from the EPHS Museum during football games in an effort to raise some funds and reduce long lines at the Concession Stand at historic RR Jones Stadium.  The Tiger Pride Band Boosters operate the Concession Stand at EPHS varsity football game.
