The Best in Texas
 
The Tiger Nation Turned Out in Force for 63rd Annual Homecoming Celebration
 
 
 
Small towns and small schools do not necessarily mean small celebrations.
Last week the Tenaha family celebrated in style with the 63rd Annual Tenaha
Homecoming weekend.  And, what a weekend it was.  This year's theme was
"Storming our way to the top", and the elementary teachers and staff and
kids did not disappoint.  This year's floats were probably the most creative
and best we have seen.  Plus, there were tons of smiling happy faces on
display during the parade as well.  Speaking of the parade, another big
crowd and fantastic parade was the highlight of the afternoon as alumni,
students, a beautiful Homecoming court, the Roarin' Band from Tigerland, and
the Tigers themselves were on display for the hundreds in attendance.
 
And while we are talking about the Roarin' Band from Tigerland, let's talk
about their amazing contest performance and 1st Division rating early
Saturday morning.  Mr. Sours and the band have worked tirelessly to produce
their award winning sound.  The Homecoming day for band students began at
6:00 AM and ended around 9:00 PM.  Three different performances that
included a parade march.  No better way to lift up that Tiger Pride than
seeing the Tiger Band march onto the scene.  
 
We were equally proud to welcome home this year's Grand Marshal, Master
Sergeant Justin Adams.  Justin is a career Air Force Officer and former
Tenaha Valedictorian.  It was awesome to see Justin lead the parade downtown
in uniform and all of Tenaha are grateful for his continued service to our
country.
 
Speaking of proud legacies, help me welcome the two new members to the
Tenaha Hall of Honor.  Terry Bowlin has long been the catalyst for so many
things we have accomplished at TISD, and no one is more deserving than her
of this great honor.  Also, no alumni has set a better example for the young
people of Tenaha to aspire to be in life than this year's other inductee,
Randy Jackson.  Randy is one of the DFW Metroplex's most successful coaches
and he has positively affected so many young people's lives through his
efforts.  It was great to see the pride Randy and the entire Jackson family
showed in their home town.  
 
Finally, the Tigers were able to take center stage against the Grapeland
Sandies.  As they have done all year, the Tigers smashed their way to their
5th shut out of the season.  This Tiger defense may be the best ever as they
have only allowed four touchdowns in eight games.  On Saturday, the Tiger
defense managed to score three touchdowns of their own en route to the 47-0
victory.
 
Saturday was just another example of how awesome the Tiger Nation is when we
come together.  A great crowd enjoyed a day of amazing performances by
Tenaha kids.  We truly do have a great thing going here at TISD.
