Ken’Wuan Atkins and Ric’Kiya Bryant were named King and Queen of at the 2024 Homecoming Assembly at Jonesboro-Hodge High School, highlighting one of the most unusual Homecoming celebrations in school history. 

Earlier in the week, JHHS got the news that Plain Dealing High School, their opponent in the annual Homecoming game that was to be played that Friday night, had forfeited the game due to not having enough players to field a team. 

Regardless that still didn’t damper the spirits of the students and many alumni who came back for the festive event and attended the Homecoming parade and enjoyed the traditional tailgating of classes who assembled in the south area of Caldwell-Peacock Stadium. 

Thanks to the quick thinking of the JHHS administration, fans and Tigers supporters were treated to the presentation of the Homecoming Court, an alumni flag football game and a contest between the JP Tigers youth football team and the No Limit Soldiers in place of the regularly schedule district 1-1A contest.
