HAPPY HOMECOMING, TIGER NATION!

Homecoming is more than a football game, a parade, or a week of school spirit. It is a celebration of who we are, where we come from, and the memories and traditions that connect us as a Tiger Family!

As we celebrate Homecoming, I encourage our students, staff, alumni, families, and community to show up, show out, and represent Sussex Central with pride. Whether you are a current Tiger, a Forever Tiger, or one of our many supporters, you are part of what makes Tiger Nation special.

Let's celebrate our traditions, create new memories, support our students, and demonstrate what it means to be a Tiger!

From my desk to yours, HAPPY HOMECOMING, TIGERS!

With Tiger Pride and Leading with Love,

Drexel W. Pierce, Jr.
Principal, Sussex Central High School
