Southeastern is celebrating Homecoming with a week of spirited activities, Oct. 12-17. Homecoming Day, Oct. 17, will feature time honored favorites such as tailgating in Friendship Circle, a spirit-filled parade, a wide variety of reunions, and football action in a bigger and better Strawberry Stadium.
