2023 LHS Homecoming Parade Route at 2:00 pm
Tonight's HS Homecoming Spirit Night has been moved to the Gym at the school due to the rainy weather. It will start around 8:00-8:30 pm, after the Volleyball team and Freshman Football team arrive back to Lexington after those games, which are both located at Ridgeview.
* All are welcome to attend, but ONLY LHS students will be allowed to enter the “inner circle”. Please be mindful of the designated areas for spectators.
ATTENTION: Freshman Football Location change!!
Due to playing/parking conditions at Lexington, the freshman football game schedule for tonight, 9/21/23 at Lexington has been moved to Ridgeview (Colfax). Kickoff at 6:00 pm

HOLY MUMS!
Thanks to everyone who bought mums to support the HS student council. The student council sold 410 mums! We do have a few extras and will be selling them tonight at the volleyball game. They are $15.00 each.
A HUGE thank you to Kull Scape Outdoor Living in East Peoria for delivering them to the school this year!
Road Closure UPDATE:
For those of you coming to the Fisher vs. Ridgeview/Lexington Football game tonight, please be aware that Chatham Street is CLOSED between Cherry Street & Elm Street. The intersection at Elm & Chatham (normal park entrance) WILL BE OPEN to access the football field from Elm Street.
Please see the map for other possible entrances / parking areas for the game tonight.
- Head North on Cherry Street
- Head North on Orange Street and then turn West on Kenneth Drive
- Please note, Wall Street is also closed in front of the school so you will need to use North Street, Walnut Street, or Main Street to get to Elm Street and go North
We hope to see you there!
