Laurens – The Laurens District 55 High School (LDHS) Student Council sponsors the annual Homecoming Parade in Laurens. The 2025-2026 parade will be on Monday, September 8, at 6:30 PM to kick off the week's Homecoming celebration. This year's parade theme, 'Home Sweet Homecoming,' will feature class floats decorated to resemble movies that relate to family, finding a home, or finding a way home. This event will also feature the LDHS Homecoming Court, as well as floats depicting a range of clubs and sports represented at LDHS.
This year's Homecoming Parade will begin at the intersection of East/West Laurens Street and N. Caroline Street, proceed through the Courthouse Square, and end at Laurens Middle School.

Students on the Homecoming Court are raising money for the American Legion Post 25. The Student Council will crown the student representative who raises the most money as Miss Make a Difference during the Homecoming Pep Rally on Friday, September 12. The Raider Varsity Football Team will play AC Flora on Homecoming night, September 12, with kickoff at 7:30 PM. During halftime, the 2025 Class Princesses and the Homecoming Queen will be announced.
