Fort Zumwalt North will host it's annual "Homecoming" game this Friday (9/27) night as the varsity football team plays host to the Liberty Eagles. Last Friday, the Panthers defeated Washington 33 – 19 to remain (4 – 0) unbeaten on the season. Kick-off for Friday night’s game is scheduled for 7:00 pm.

During the game on Friday, all FZ Senior High/FZN alumni will be recognized. Alumni are encouraged to sign in at the ticket booth as they arrive for the game. During the game the "Class of 1989" will be recognized in conjunction with their 35-year reunion. All alumni who wear their old letter jacket, cheer sweater, or team jersey from their time at FZ/FZN to the game will be charged the student price ($2.00) for admission. This deal is for in-person cash only tickets purchased at the gate.

In addition to the game, a community parade will be held on Saturday morning. The parade will
feature the school's Panther Pride Marching Band as well as this year's homecoming court and floats from North High's various clubs, athletic teams, and community groups. The parade route begins at Westhoff Elementary School and will proceed down Homefield Boulevard, St. Matthew Street, and Tom Ginnever Avenue before ending at the campus of North High. The parade is scheduled to begin at 9:00 am. The entire North High community is invited to participate.
