Events

The Effingham Homecoming game is set for Friday, September 26 vs the Taylorville Tornadoes.

A Homecoming parade is scheduled for Wednesday, September 24th that will travel from the Heart Theatre to Effingham High School. A PowderPuff game will take place on the football field at the conclusion of the parade. The coronation of our Homecoming king and queen will take place on Friday night during the football game. The high school dance is set for Saturday.

In preparation for the week’s celebration of school spirit, we ask the entire community, but especially our friends downtown, to celebrate with us! Join in the fun by decorating your windows, updating your marquees, and showing off your school spirit in support of the Flaming Hearts of Effingham. Whether it’s in red and white, football themes, or good luck messages, we hope the week will be one big pep rally!

Our community is stronger because of your enthusiasm to support these students! #paintthetownred
