With homecoming right around the corner, many students are prepping by finding dates, dresses and costumes for spirit week.

Homecoming week is Oct. 1, and students dress up throughout the week. The dance is that Thursday, Oct. 4, with the football game following that Friday, Oct. 5. Homecoming preparation began Sep. 5, when the first meeting took place.

“Students can dress up throughout the week, based on the theme day. Theme days include all students, not just homecoming teams. We also encourage students to come to game night and the Friday night football game,” homecoming committee adviser Holly Metzler said.
