You may wonder why homecoming was scheduled so early in the football season.  It was scheduled early for many reasons.

The most important reason was that Atlantic re-districts every two years, which made it so homecoming week had to be either at the beginning or end of September.

“I wish we could have had Homecoming  later on, but it was just easier to schedule it when it is because of all the other activities,” said athletic director Matt Alexander.

Alexander also said, “It was difficult to schedule homecoming because we have to schedule it in the spring before the next school year.”

Homecoming is next week starting on Tuesday, Sept. 6, and ending on Friday, Sept. 10.

This year’s homecoming is based on “going for gold”. Dress themes starting on Tuesday are: colors of the ring, Wednesday is patriotic day, Thursday is Rio day (beach themed), and Friday is black and gold. Dress up and earn spirit points for you grade, but most importantly have fun!
