A great amount of memories were made, students made numerous videos, pictures and shared after thoughts.

¨Homecoming was [like] a movie. I genuinely enjoyed myself,¨ said sophomore Marisa  Marbury. Students also had opportunities to meet new people and socialize. “Im hoping to be more involved there and create bonds with new people," said Nakayla Dawson.

In closing of the dance, homecoming court nominees and winners were announced. Winners were River Wells for freshman class, Isla Mclure for sophomore class, Keyshon James and Lauren Glover for junior class, and Josh Hill and Mikayla Henson for senior class.

“I had to get a bunch of papers signed, the process was pretty long but I enjoyed it," Junior Lauren Glover said. Another step that was taken by many of the students was making flyers and posters. ¨ I made cute flyers to put around the school and also handed out candy¨ said river wells.
