Silsbee presents the homecoming Queen 2026-2027

SILSBEE — Silsbee High School celebrated Homecoming with several festivities that lasted throughout the week with the traditions old and new to bring the people of Silsbee together. The festivities kicked off with the community fair and bonfire Oct. 8 where local vendors provided meals and drinks for attendees with games such as washers, corn hole and Connect 4. At dusk, the seniors walked down the hill with lit candles and the bonfire was lit to celebrate the community coming together. “This is only about the fourth or fifth year that we’ve done this, so it’s still growing, but we thought that it would be really cool to have a fair while everybody’s standing around waiting for the bonfire to start,” Student Council sponsor, Angela Camden said. The Homecoming Game Oct. 9 brought a powered victory for the Tigers, winning against the Jasper High School Bulldogs 59-14, where at halftime, Averie Brooks was crowned as the 2026 Silsbee High School Homecoming Queen. The rest of the homecoming court included freshman Brielle Foster, Brooklynn Kelly, Lexi Murphy and Kensley Stanley, sophomore Lillie Blythe, Ann Margaret Harkey Madison Hill and Brianna Lazo, juniors Valentina Aboytes, Romi Calhoun, Anniston Miller and Brooklyn Miller and seniors Addi Durant and Aidyn Everitt. As part of the final set of festivities, the Silsbee community gathered together for the Homecoming Parade along downtown Silsbee, and the Tiger Prowl festival held at the Silsbee Public Library, Oct. 10. Participants lined up their lawn chairs by the edge of the highway and kids dived along the streets for candy, along with celebrating their Tiger Pride and supporting their local businesses during the Prowl. Local vendors provided food, drink, and items for purchase, hosted by the Silsbee Library and the Friends of the Silsbee Library. “Homecoming really brings the community together,” Camden shared.
