CONWAY — Homecoming at Kennett High School is getting an extreme makeover. Members of the Kennett student council, led by student body president Thomas Gregston and senior class president Chris King, are packing a ton of events into the week-long festivities that kick off Monday, including the return of a parade.
The parade, which has been nonexistent since the Eagles moved to the Redstone campus five years ago, will be held on Eagles Way on Thursday at 2 p.m.
