At 2:45, all students were let out of class early. The 2,000 students packed the gym to watch this year’s homecoming court nominees and teachers alike embarrass themselves in a series of relays, in addition to the introduction of all fall sport teams and a performance by the dance team. The sea of green and gold cheered on their favorites as the festivities ensued.
