2024 HOCO Parade Winner Results

Posted on October 10, 2024

For the third year in a row, Penn’s Homecoming was a success and brought the greater community together by the thousands (click to see the full photo gallery of all the events).
 
One of the biggest attractions was the parade filled with student floats. This year’s theme was “Building a Brighter Future.” Students competed for the best parade idea for cash prizes. This year’s parade featured 15 school clubs and/or teams. All the floats were amazing!
 
The P-H-M Education Foundation’s Executive Director Jennifer Turnblom was on PNN this morning to announce the winners.
 
First, second and third place was determined by a combination of online paid votes and free student votes.
 

  1. Penn Swim & Dive, $1,000

Students got one free vote, otherwise it was $5 per vote for your favorite float; $2,345 was raised for the Education Foundation, enabling the non-profit organization to provide educational grants to P-H-M teachers, staff and schools. 
 
Congratulations to all three groups! Thank you to Penn High School Booster Club for their generous sponsorship of the prizes.
