Homecoming Week Schedule Update Due to Weather

As we continue to monitor the weather forecast for Friday afternoon and evening, we have been in communication with Faith Academy regarding this week's Homecoming football game. After careful consideration, both schools have agreed to move the varsity football game from Friday night to Thursday night at 7:00 PM.
We understand schedule changes can be challenging; however, decisions of this nature require significant advance planning and coordination among multiple groups. Adjusting a varsity football game involves coordinating campus safety and traffic personnel, marching band, cheerleaders, referees and game officials, communication with the Alabama High School Athletic Association, concession stand operations, and the many logistical considerations that accompany Homecoming week activities. Making this decision early helps ensure that all necessary personnel are available and that we can provide the safest and best possible experience for our students, families, and guests.
While this adjustment affects some of our Homecoming activities, we are pleased that many of our traditions will continue with only minor modifications.
Thursday Homecoming Events:
  • The Pre-K through 4th Grade Homecoming Pep Rally will take place as scheduled at 9:00 AM.
  • The Pre-K through 4th Grade Homecoming Carnival will follow its regularly scheduled timeline with no changes.
  • Our 5th through 12th Grade Homecoming Pep Rally will be held at 1:30 PM following Upper School lunch. Students in grades 5-12 will attend this Pep Rally. Please note that the pep rally will now take place in the Mitchell Gymnasium rather than at the stadium.
Thursday Evening Football Game:
  • St. Paul's vs. Faith Academy
  • Kickoff: 7:00 PM
  • The Homecoming Court will be recognized during halftime.
  • The SGA-sponsored Homecoming Dance will take place immediately following the game.
Friday Schedule:
  • After closely monitoring the latest weather forecasts and consulting available information, St. Paul’s has made the decision to cancel classes on Friday. (UPDATE 10/7/2026)
Alumni Tailgate Update:
  • The Alumni Tailgate, originally scheduled for this Friday at 5:00 PM, will be rescheduled to Friday, October 16th at 5:00 PM before the UMS-Wright football game and will take place prior to that matchup. We are hopeful that many of our alumni will still be able to join us for this special gathering.
Athletic Event Adjustments:
  • Several athletic events scheduled for Thursday and Friday may require adjustments. Please look for direct communication from your child's head coach regarding any schedule, travel, or venue changes.
Thank you for your flexibility, understanding, and support as we work through these weather-related adjustments. We are grateful for the partnership of our St. Paul's families and look forward to celebrating a wonderful Homecoming week together.
Go Saints!
