The 2018 Salado High School Homecoming Queen and King will be crowned during the Halftime of the Salado Eagles game against the Taylor Ducks. Kick-off is at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 21
However, Salado Eagle football parents will be recognized at 6:45 p.m. followed by a performance by the Salado High School Marching Band prior to kick off.

Football teams will go to locker rooms. Salado High Band will go to JH Gym. Taylor Band will go to SIS Gym.
Homecoming Half-time events will move to SIS Cafeteria.
