This Friday the Mustangs will face off against the Eureka Wildcats at 7 p.m. for the annual Homecoming game. Current MHS students and alumni are invited to support the football team and the MHS community. This year, prior to the start of the football game, STUCO is hosting the homecoming carnival
The carnival will begin at 5:30 p.m when the gates open for the football game, which kicks off at 7 p.m., and ends at the conclusion of halftime of the football game (after the 2nd quarter).
STUCO Sponsor Kara Zonies said the event will be filled with multiple activities engaging for small children.
I think it’s wonderful that we have this opportunity for children to come visit Marquette, I think it’s a great way for local communities to be bonded within one event

“We’ll have several games such as one where you throw a ball at a cat since we are going against the (Eureka) Wildcats,” Zonies said. “We’ll also have a bouncy house and an obstacle course so it’ll be a lot of fun.”
In addition to the numerous games available for children to participate in, there will also be a large variety of prizes that they can potentially win.
“We have a multitude of little cute toys that I got from Oriental Trading Company,” Zonies said. “As well as some candy.”
Sophomore Principal Dr. Dan Ramsey said Miss Missouri will be available to sign autographs for the children who attend the Homecoming Carnival.
“Miss Missouri is Claire Marie Kuebler,” Ramsey said. “She is a Marquette grad. She graduated in 2018 and she’s gonna come back and celebrate Homecoming with us.”
STUCO President Chloe Kang, senior, said the carnival is a great opportunity for current students involved in STUCO to volunteer for their community and for young children to be a part of Marquette tradition.
“I think it’s wonderful that we have this opportunity for children to come visit Marquette,” Kang said. “I think it’s a great way for local communities to be bonded within one event.”
