School Homecoming

  A school homecoming is an annual event where schools welcome back former students in a huge celebration. Homecomings were occurring in schools since the 19th century, these events were created to celebrate the football team with a football game. There may be a homecoming dances, homecoming games, parades, pep rallies, picnics, and they may even have a spirit week that includes so many more fun activities. The homecoming game is called a homecoming game because the school’s team plays on their home field (coming home) and play against another school. Typically the homecoming dance is after the homecoming football game. In homecoming dances a Homecoming Queen and King are chosen by the school to represent as the student body. Homecoming etiquette includes having a corsage or a boutonniere at the dance, dressing semi-formal, having a date or friends to go with, go out to dinner before the dance, and have a great time at the dance.
