Homecoming


Homecoming is a tradition centered around bringing alumni and a new generation of students together to build camaraderie and celebrate school spirit. The weeklong festivities include tailgates, a pep rally, and other fun-filled activities that give alumni an opportunity to reconnect with their alma mater.

Students take an active role in the Homecoming planning process by coming up with possible themes for the week and then voting on their favorite. The theme is incorporated into some of the events and activities throughout the week.
