Greetings Jellico High School Alumni. Homecoming 2009 was enjoyed by all who attended. We were very fortunate to have some magnificent colors in the mountains and for the most part good weather. Homecoming 2010 will be held in conjunction with Jellico Fall Fest on October 1 and 2, 2010. Fall Fest is another Jellico tradition. There will be exhibits of all sorts as well as live music and vendor tables. The City Meeting Room in Downtown Jellico will house the Homecoming Hospitality Suite on Saturday evening October 2 rather than this event being held in the High School. Attendees will be able to enjoy live music in Veteran's Park or socialize with their friends and enjoy refreshments indoors. There is a good chance many of the local Alumni who don't attend Homecoming will be found at Fall Fest! The Celebration of Life Memorial will be combined with Homecoming this year and will be held at JHS immediately following the Assembly Program. Bertha Smith and Vickie Wilson continue to update this and many names of deceased alumni have been added since last year. Reunions for the Classes of 1950, 1960, 1965 and 1984 are in the planning stages for Homecoming 2010 and will go full speed ahead as soon as the date is announced. We must wait to get the date from Jellico High School due to the scheduling of the Homecoming Football game.
This is a special message to all of you who attend the Homecoming each fall. Please make it a point to invite another JHS friend who doesn't attend often or has never attended. If you attended JHS you are WELCOME at Homecoming. We have quite a number of attendees who moved and graduated elsewhere but come back frequently and enjoy Homecoming. We are all glad to see each of them. The Walk Through Time is a gallery of yearbook photographs beginning in the 1930s and will include 2009 graduates. Folks I had the pleasure of seeing the Walk Through Time several years ago when Bill Branam put it together. If you have not seen it, you will be thrilled when you do. You may see your own picture as a Senior Class member or those of your parents. Bill did a wonderful job on this.

If you know a person who lives in the local Jellico community, invite them to come to Homecoming with you. Is YOUR class due for a Class Reunion? We need to know so we can help you locate classmates and post your information on the website so others can see it. We look forward to seeing all of you at the 2010 Homecoming!
To all Jellico High School Alumni: The Alumni Association is a Volunteer Organization. The officers and staff are elected each year by the Homecoming attendees. The aim of each of the members is to make YOUR Homecoming enjoyable. We receive our gratification from each smiling face we see when classmates are re-united after the passing years. Contact us if you have ideas, suggestions, any input, need help finding classmates, etc. |
