    Homecoming week is full of tradition at HHSS. The week is designated spirit week with each day allowing the students to dress in a certain fashion not normally acceptable by rule (e.i. Western day, Orange out day, etc.). On the Thursday night prior to the game on Friday, the Student Council holds an annual homecoming parade and bonfire. The event starts with a parade down Dixieland Road featuring floats which representatives from participating clubs ride on. The parade is followed by a special homecoming pep rally. The night concludes with the traditional Burning of the "HS" by the Harlingen South FFA. A large steel "HS" is wrapped in cloth set up in a field near the school and set on fire. The Burning of the "HS" closely resembles the Burning of the "H" homecoming tradition at cross town rival Harlingen High School. Harlingen South broke off from Harlingen High in 1993. The Homecoming Dance, sponsored by the Student Council is held on the Saturday night following the Friday game.
