Homecoming is about to arrive and you might have a lot of questions. Is it important to go? How about the HOCO football game? Will it be fun?
When it comes to homecoming activities, some people will say that homecoming is a waste of time citing concerns about music, food, and people.
Other Colts see homecoming as a celebration of school spirit and a welcome for alumni.
There is also spirit week and football games that come with the homecoming dance that some look forward to. The football game will include a theme and a student section where students can have additional fun. They will also announce the homecoming court including winners for prince and princess for each grade as well as king and queen for all academies.
Carson High School senior Amelia Donini said, “Homecoming [is] expected to be fun, and it will be a great experience to go.”
Many at CHS agree with Donini with 70% of students polled believing that homecoming will be a fun experience.
Most of the homecoming restrictions are reasonable but people are confused by some of the rules. For example, why can't we wear perfume or cologne?
Grades, attendance, tardies, and behavior must meet the bar in order for CHS students to attend. Students must have a 2.0 GPA, a 96% attendance rate, no more than 10 tardies, and have a signature from a teacher of choice proving that they have good behavior in class.
“I think it’s great that we have homecoming especially for all the grades and academies, so they can all participate,” said CHS senior Gilbert Rivera.
Seniors in particular are looking forward to their final homecoming during high school.
“My entire attire matches the theme, and I’m excited to go. It’s my senior year,” said CHS senior Avant Jackson.
The Old Hollywood theme is very simple and everyone seems to love it because almost everything can easily match the theme.
Homecoming 2024 sounds promising and sold out prior to the Saturday, October 5th date.
