(St. George, UT) - After a century of Dixie, students and faculty would like to welcome alumni back to celebrate its centennial year. Many traditions have withstood for decades to be participated in by class after class. This year is no exception, as students participate in not just tradition, but celebration of the past 100 years.


One of the grandest traditions is homecoming week here at Dixie. The executive council has gone all-out this year to recognize not just this year’s students, but past alumni as well. The football game and dance will show how Dixie High has evolved over the past century. Participation is highly encouraged of alumni, to bring back memories from when they attended, and offer the opportunity to celebrate St. George’s first high school.

The homecoming football game is to be held on this coming Friday, September 18th. The football game will highlight past students throughout the game. Giving special recognition to former homecoming kings and queens, passing of the football between former players, and the singing of the school hymn by current and past choir members, are just a few of the items scheduled at the game. Those planning the festivities ensure that this homecoming will be the one of the century. Please note that the football game will cost $5 per ticket for adults.

Another of the highlights of the week is the dance. A special quality to this year’s dance is that alumni are invited, and that the dance is to be held at the Old St. George Academy on Main Street (100 S Main Street). Alumni will gain admittance for free, and refreshments will be offered inside. Memorabilia and special decorations will be featured in the hall to highlight the past 100 years.

Throughout the past century, a compilation of Flyer history continues to make Dixie proud. This is a time to not only celebrate the past 100 years, but look to the future as students will continue to “bleed blue”.
