The tradition of homecoming has its origin in alumni football games held at schools across the country since the 19th century. It is the tradition of welcoming back former students to celebrate our school's existence. Each year our festivities kick off with theme days for students and a collection of goods to benefit non-profit organizations in our community. The final day of Homecoming is celebrated by a parade through campus, a football game on Friday evening, and the crowning of Homecoming King and Queen.
