Sheridan High School (SHS) is planning its 100th Homecoming celebration, to be held on Saturday, Sept. 16, with activities all day, starting with a parade at 10:30 a.m. and ending the evening with the football game at 7 p.m.
As part of this celebration, SHS Student Council chose the theme of “The History of Homecoming” for their festivities. Student Council members visited the Sheridan Historical Society, 315 S. Main St., on Tuesday to research the school’s history and to gain knowledge to support their chosen theme.

Steve Martin, Vice President of the Historical Society, greeted students and toured them through the museum’s trove of school artifacts.
“We have a lot of history here, not only about school, but the whole town, and every day, it seems like we get more objects coming in,” Martin said. “It’s nice to be able to look back.”
Isabella Pappas, President of the Class of 2024, said she was excited to see the school’s history in person.
“This year’s 100th Homecoming is so important to us in Sheridan,” Pappas said, “so it was interesting to get to see some of the history, not just hear about it!”
The museum is open from 1 to 4 p.m. Tuesdays and Fridays, and from 1 to 4 p.m. on the second and fourth Saturdays of the month.
Sheridan High School’s 100th Homecoming on Saturday, Sept. 16 will include many events, tours, and celebrations. Please visit scs.k12.in.us/shs for more information or to become involved.
