County High Schools Celebrate Homecoming Week

, 

Monday, September 19, 2022, started the weeklong homecoming festivities at Bolivar Central High School (BCHS) and Middleton High School (MHS). Celebrations included spirit week on both campuses with green and white everywhere in Bolivar and orange and black all over in Middleton. Despite the occasional friendly rivalry, one thing both schools had in common was their Tiger Pride.

Spirit week gave the students at BCHS and MHS an opportunity to show their spirit and creativity with different themed days of attire. See BCHS themes and see MHS themes.

Homecoming courts were announced and queens were crowned with senior Becca Bryant winning BCHS Homecoming Queen.
