A Houston-area school district is aiming to be the biggest in a classic Texas homecoming tradition.
Students at Oak Ridge High School in Conroe are joining the race to build the world’s largest homecoming mum, and more than a dozen students have collectively spent over a month working on the effort.
Arlington Independent School District holds that record now with its 199-foot mum, according to Guinness World Record. Crafted in an effort to spread awareness of breast cancer, the structure took the title of biggest mum in 2021.
Now students at Oak Ridge High School are hopeful their corsage will top that. Pieces of their monstrous mum will get a proper police escort to the football field on Friday ahead of the unveiling.
“This mum is wider than a car lane,” Wilson said. “It is huge.”
