Good Afternoon Jaguar Families,
Starting Monday, September 23rd, we have a host of Spirit Week and Homecoming activities planned. We encourage all our students to participate in these events as we prepare for Friday’s outdoor pep rally and football game against Upper Arlington High School.

Tickets are $20 for current Hilliard Bradley High School students and $25 for a guest. Non-Bradley guests must either be a current Hilliard City Schools student (Darby or Davidson) or a graduate of Hilliard Bradley High School under the age of 21. No guests outside of the district are permitted. Tickets can be purchased through Local Level Events or follow this link: Homecoming Dance Tickets.
