"Our students, parents, and staff are excited about Homecoming 2018," said Superintendent of Schools Sharonica Hardin-Bartley. "We are looking forward to celebrating with our alumni, as well as the entire University City community. Everyone is invited to come and enjoy our festivities."

This year's parade will feature two bands and 30 superhero-themed floats, and the parade's grand marshal will be a representative of the class of 1968, officials said.

"The 'Marvel-ous' theme extends beyond the parade," officials said. "District administrators began the 2018-2019 school year by dressing up as super heroes for a video highlighting the priorities of the Learning Reimagined initiative."
