DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
The Oak Ridge High School (ORHS) Homecoming Parade is an annual event sponsored by the ORHS Associated Student Body. The Parade has been held annually for the past 16 years and participants include the ORHS students, staff, sports teams, extracurricular programs, and community affiliates, local businesses and groups such as the El Dorado Hills Fire Department (EDHFD), California Highway Patrol (CHP), and County Sheriff's Department.
