All in all, it was an exciting few days as students throughout the district were in high spirits during Homecoming Week September 21-25. 

Leading up to the pep rally, middle and high school students showed their school spirit with a week of fun themes. On Monday, students dressed as their favorite Disney characters, followed by “Twin Tuesday,” when friends teamed up to dress alike. Wednesday brought plenty of laughs with “Wig Wednesday,” as students sported their best and boldest wigs. On Thursday, students brought internet humor to life by dressing as their favorite memes. Spirit Week wrapped up Friday with a “Color War”: seniors wore gray, juniors black, sophomores white, freshmen red, and middle school students tie-dye.

The week concluded with a spirited Pep Rally at Ralph P. Adams Stadium, where the 2026 Homecoming King and Queen were crowned. The celebration even featured a special performance from Big Red and his sidekicks, who took down a “villain” representing the opposing team. Judging by the cheers echoing throughout the stadium, students were full of school spirit and excitement!
