'Duck Parade' tradition at Tremper High School dates back to 1980s

 

KENOSHA, Wis. (CBS 58) -- A family of ducks went on a parade through Tremper High School in Kenosha before heading out to their new home.

For the past few years, a mother duck has flown into the school's courtyard to nest. 

Once the ducklings are big enough, one of the school's principal's who is known as the Duck Parade Grand Marshall will escort the family from the courtyard to the school and past the football field to a nearby pond.

The district says the 'Duck Parade' tradition dates back to the early 1980s.
