“My favorite part of homecoming is all the school spirit and the pep rally,” said senior MaKenna Karr.
Homecoming week is always a highlight of the school year. A time when the entire student body comes together to celebrate Mustang pride through dress-up days, hallway decorating, and spirited activities. Each day, classes competed for the best interpretation of the day’s theme, with the winning class earning the privilege of eating lunch first.
This year’s dress-up days included the following:
Monday: Throwback Music Day
Tuesday: Dr. Seuss Day
Wednesday: Twin Day
Thursday: Color Wars
Friday: School Spirit Day
The hallway decorating theme was Board Games. Each class worked hard to bring their game to life. The different hallways featured were the following:
Seniors: Monopoly
Juniors: Jumanji
Sophomores: Clue
Freshmen: Risk
7th and 8th grades: Life
Students also showed their Mustang spirit by getting their vehicles painted for the week’s festivities. Throughout the week, staff members and students participated in interviews, photo opportunities, and friendly competitions that encouraged creativity and community.
Homecoming week culminated in Friday’s pep rally and the much-anticipated football game, with the dance to follow. The pep rally featured exciting games, class competitions, and plenty of cheering to get everyone ready for the evening’s matchup.
This year’s Homecoming King candidates were Beau Bonifas, Landon Duester, Lanham Skrdlant, and Jaxon tenBensel, and the Queen candidates were Kamille Karr, Kerra Hofstetter, MaKenna Karr, and Sophie Schmidt. After the football game, Beau Bonifas and Sophie Schmidt were crowned the 2025 Homecoming King and Queen.
