As people walked through the door to the Homecoming dance on Oct. 10, they were greeted with loud music, strobe lights, a Hollywood backdrop, and music videos being projected onto the gymnasium wall.

”Homecoming for me was a lot more fun than I thought,” said Kaitlynn Douglas, senior. “I heard the past year’s dance was dead.”

In the senior cafeteria, cake and punch was being served. Throughout the dance, there was a stream of people dancing and enjoying spending time with their friends.

“I had fun seeing all my friends dressed up,” said junior Jonah Payne.

For the past week, students had been hanging up posters with their faces on them, and posting pictures on Instagram encouraging their fellow students to vote for them for Homecoming court. For Deion Williams, sophomore, social media was the way he got people’s votes.
“I enjoyed winning,” said Williams who was the winner of the sophomore court.

The dance left a good impression on freshman Thomas Looby.

“It was a really fun Homecoming for my first time,” said Looby. “I went with a group of friends.”

Students agreed the dance was a big improvement from last year’s Homecoming dance.

Douglas said, “If I could relive that night, I would.”
