LPHS will have its annual homecoming week from September 28 to October 2.

The week will include spirit days, a parade, and a football game to finish it off.

The theme for spirit week is Slicers Through The Years. 

The days will go as follows: Monday: ‘70s, Tuesday: ‘80s, Wednesday: ‘90s, Thursday: 2000s, Friday: Orange and Black.

The homecoming parade is scheduled for Monday, September 28, 2026, starting around 5:00 p.m. along State Street.

There will be many LPHS clubs and sports participating in the parade, incorporating their extracurriculars in the various floats.

The football game will be on Friday, October 2, against Crown Point High School at 7:00 p.m. at Kiwanis Field.

During halftime, the homecoming court will be announced, with the homecoming king and queen being crowned afterward.

LaPorte Performing Arts will be starting auditions for their upcoming fall play, You Can’t Take It With You, August 31 going through September 1.

According to the site Concord Theatricals, the iconic, award-winning play follows an eccentric family whose simple, carefree lifestyle clashes with—and ultimately transforms—their wealthy, status-obsessed future in-law. This play is known to be wildly hilarious, as well as a highly renowned classic that anybody and everybody could enjoy, and La Porte High School is excited to start auditioning for it.

Once the cast is set, rehearsals for the show will be Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. Extra dates will be added closer to the show dates.

The show will run November 13 through the 15, with Friday and Saturday starting at 6:00 p.m. and Sunday being a matinee, starting at 2 p.m.

Co-directors and LPHS teachers Sallie and Timothy Hanson are excited to be putting on this show and love the message it delivers.

“It's a very heartwarming play. It shows how people can have differences but still come together in the end; these days, it's a good message to have,” Hanson said.

The Hansons are hoping for a successful show and a full audience for opening weekend.

“People should come see it because we have fantastic students. We need an audience, and the actors really come alive when they come in,” Hanson said.
