This year, at HC, homecoming is going to be held on October 11th, at 8 p.m. in the HC gym. The theme this year is Old Hollywood Glam. Student council has made many efforts to make several different changes to improve homecoming for students.
Student council president Isabella Aull, described some of the changes they are making this year.
“[Student council has] had a lot of complaints in the past about it being in the cafeteria,” Aull said. “So [student council] worked really hard with Mr Blackman and all the staff and thankfully got it moved to the gym.”
In the past, students have also struggled with not having anything to eat or drink at the dance.
“This year we will be having water [for students to drink],” Aull said. “ [Student council is] going to try and get coolers for the water too so that [the water] will be cold and not room temperature. We are also going to have cookies out for some form of substance.”
Student council also has crafted new ways to have music for everyone at the dance.
“So [student council is] going to create a google form where people can submit their song recommendations, as many as they want,” Aull said. “Then we’re going to have student council members verify that they’re appropriate, and if they are appropriate, they’re getting put on the playlist for us to play.”
To incorporate the theme of the dance, Old Hollywood Glam, student council is planning fun decorations for the gym.
“We’re going to have our own little walk of fame, with really highly involved student council members’ names on it.” Aull said “[Also] we’re going to have a big homecoming balloon arch, we are going all out this year.”
To also involve the homecoming spirit, student council has planned a spirit week to get students excited for the game and dance.
“The theme for homecoming spirit week is, Monday we don’t have school, Tuesday is pajamas, Wednesday is pink out, Thursday is country vs country club, and Friday is color wars,” Aull said.
Student Council is looking forward to the exciting changes they are making. Tickets are being sold until 5th lunch on Friday, September 26, don’t forget to buy one.
