Devine HS Homecoming Nov 8-9

For the past 72 years, the Devine Ex-Students/Teachers Association (DExSTA) has honored ex-students and teachers who attended school or taught in Devine over the years, from “way back when” to the newly graduated class of 2024!
This November 8th & 9th will be the 72nd Homecoming of the Association and you are invited to attend this special celebration. 
It all starts on Friday night, Nov.8, at Warhorse Stadium as the Devine Warhorses take on Memorial HS in the annual Homecoming football game. Come early to sign in at the DExSTA table and sit with your school friends before the 7:00pm kick-off!
At halftime, the ex-students of the Honor Class of 1974 will be on the track to be introduced and recognized for their 50th Class Reunion. Be sure to hoot and holler with them to show that you are glad they are there to celebrate!
On Saturday, Nov. 8th, Homecoming festivities continue at the Devine VFW hall (Old Green alamo) starting at 1:00pm! This is again a special gathering for all Devine alumni to visit and catch up on old friendships and spend time with former classmates; and refreshments will be served. Also, at this event the 50th Reunion Class of 1974 will be honored again and will give a class presentation. This is always a treat, not just for the honor class, but for all of us in attendance. If you were in school with the class of ’74, this is a great opportunity to come and see the big group of them and reminisce about your school days back in the 70s!


This year all former Band Members will also be recognized and honored! So many of you were in the Colt and Warhorse Bands and marched in parades, at halftime at football games, and performed at contests and concerts during your years at DHS and DMS/DJHS. Those special memories can be relived with your bandmates, and at our Band Memory table, which will include lots of pictures, instruments, and even band uniforms!
Another special thing at the Saturday event will be the annual display of hundreds of pictures and posters of students, teachers, classrooms, etc., from the over 100 years of school in Devine. This is the once-a-year time that these are displayed for everyone to see, so please come by to enjoy things from the DExSTA archives. You are also welcome to bring any pictures, class posters, old school newspapers, uniforms, yearbooks or school memorabilia to display too.
OK, now that you are interested, where can you get more information??
If you are already a member, fliers were mailed to you, but if you are not, just come by the DExSTA table at the game on Friday night or to the Saturday event and we can help you out! You can also check out the Devine Ex-Students/Teachers Association Facebook page and the Devine News for more information or contact DExSTA at 210-289-6205 (Pres. Nancy Saathoff)!
WE CAN’T WAIT TO SEE YOU @ DEVINE HOMECOMING 2024!

Community steps up to help with critical need June 29th

On Saturday, June 29, there will be a blood drive from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in front of the Monument for Medina County Veterans in Natalia.
