This is what you’ve been waiting for, flashing
lights and upbeat music pounding in your ears. Homecoming, a time for football
and dancing that everyone enjoys, it will take place September 23-24 this year.
Whether you like the hallways and parade or
go all out at the game and dance, Homecoming fills students with school spirit.
Gathering students to participate in events or just enjoy the dancing and
decorations fills the school with a deep sense of unity. It helps with school
spirit by getting the majority of students involved.
Junior Class President Carson Broom told all
about the theme selection process.
“As a council we came up with themes and the
officers made a list of titles and descriptions.” Then the whole council voted
on which theme we liked best.”
This year, the hallways will be sporting an
Olympics theme that promises to make for good competition between the classes. The
hallway decorating competition brings out the creative and competitive spirits
the student body possesses.
The Homecoming Parade on September 23 will
provide entertainment with floats for each grade and any club who wants to
participate. The floats will be judged on how much effort goes into the floats
and how amazing the floats appear.
The FFA is keeping it mysterious this year
as Chairman of the Float Committee, junior Alexandra Dean says, “I think our
special guests are going to be exciting and I can’t wait for the parade”.
The Homecoming game on Friday, September 23
against George Washington is one of the two games that receives the most
student participation.
Football player Riley Stewart, junior, said
“We stepped up the heat in practice after last week, so we should improve a lot
by Homecoming. I think we’re going to beat GW.”
The Homecoming dance on Saturday, September
24 lets all students dance and be happy, which is a great break from the stress
school places on the students. Tickets will be needed to enter the dance and
will be sold the week of September 19- 23. They will cost $10 for one ticket
and $20 for two. Tickets will be sold in the school store and not at the door.
If you want to bring a student from a
different school to Homecoming, forms MUST be filled out and returned to the
office.
For all students attending Homecoming,
outfits must meet school dress code. Ladies, if you haven’t found a dress yet,
good luck. Try for something that feels right, and don’t put too much on shoes,
they probably won’t last the whole night. Gentlemen, wear something to match
with your group or your lady, color matching always looks good in the photos.
One note, please be safe and make good
decisions. Keep Homecoming safe and fun for everyone.
