The Detroit Public Schools on Monday will host a parade along Woodward Avenue downtown to celebrate Detroit Cass Tech’s historic state football championship. The parade will be followed by a rally and an all-class “tailgate” reunion at the school. Cass Tech is the first DPS team to win the Michigan Division 1 high school football championship. The Technicians took the title at Ford Field on Saturday, with a 49-13 victory over Novi Detroit Catholic Central. The Dec. 5 parade will feature players, alumni, students, the cheer team, marching band, parents and floats, DPS officials announced today. The Parade Company is organizing the event’s logistics. It will begin at 1:30 p.m. at Grand Circus Park and head south on Woodward Ave, concluding with a rally. From 3-5 p.m. the school will welcome alumni from all classes for a reunion.
