Thanks for your patience as we finalized the details for the 2026 Homecoming celebration. Rolla High School has enjoyed revitalizing the Homecoming Parade for the past several years; however, given the extensive construction projects on our downtown streets and the short notice created by the change of dates, this year RHS Student Council will host a Bark & Rally Reverse Parade on Friday, September 25th, in place of a parade. Here are the important details:


  • Bark & Rally will serve as a reverse parade, where “floats”/exhibits will set up in a stationary spot in the lower parking lot at RHS, and patrons will walk through the rows. Setup will begin at 5 pm, and the event will begin at 6 pm. The Homecoming football game (Rolla vs. Moberly) begins at 7 pm

  • We encourage school groups and community members to participate creatively, just as they would during the parade. Decorate, play music, blow bubbles, and of course, hand out beads, swag, and candy!

  • Special performances by the Marching Bulldog Brigade and the RHS Cheer Squad will take place during the tailgate. Meet the RHS Football team and the Homecoming Court!

  • Patrons, entrance to Bark and Rally is free, but admission is required to enter the game.


We hope you will join us in celebration of another year in Bulldog Nation! Those wishing to enter their stationary exhibits in the reverse parade, please fill out this form. The RHS Homecoming theme is “Down in the Bayou” (The Princess & the Frog). 


We plan to resume the downtown Homecoming Parade in 2027.
