It’s Time for Hopkins’ Homecoming!

While Minnetonka fans celebrated homecoming last week, Hopkins fans get to experience the fun this week.

The in-school festivities culminate Friday with a Pep Fest where the band will play, dance teams will perform, cheerleaders will get the crowd going and royalty will be crowned.

The Homecoming football game takes place at 6 p.m. Friday, when the Royals take on Wayzata.
