Who Shows More School Pride? You, Or These Students?

High School homecoming isn’t just about the football game anymore, it’s all about showing your school spirit. Homecoming week is a time of competitions, traditions, and school pride at high schools all across the country. These are some of the coolest ways we are seeing students celebrate.

1. Spirit Week.

In Texas students are taking Spirit Week dress days to the next level. These students wear “Homecoming Mums” - pins intricately adorned with huge artificial flowers and feathers - Think GIANT Corsage.

“Under the Sea” Dress Day at Valley High School in West Des Moines, Iowa

School isn’t exactly prison, but that doesn’t mean you can’t pretend like it is by dressing up as the cast of Orange Is the New Black!

What cooler way to show your school spirit than dressing like its a festival?

2. Pride Events.

The girls at Pendleton High School in Oregon get to sling mud at each other to show school spirit. Why couldn’t my high school do that?

Students at Delbarton High School in New Jersey take to the field like its Braveheart.

And even teachers can get involved in Pride Week! Teachers at Owosso High School in Michigan planned a flash mob during Spirit Week.

3. The Parade Floats.

Good Pasture Christian School students in Madison, Tennessee take float making incredibly seriously. The Seniors won with just a ferris wheel and Scooby Doo volkswagen van. Seriously?

But you can’t say the Juniors didn’t try!

4. Getting the whole town involved!

The whole community of Rockport-Fulton High School in Texas showed spirit together at a bonfire a few days before the game.

5. The Game, or what used to be homecoming’s main event.

Face paint at the game is cool. Full body paint while marching into the stadium to bagpipes is even cooler.

Seniors at Dana Hills High School in California steal the show from the football team and the band with their own halftime dance routine.

6. King and Queen.

Crowning the head cheerleader and football captain is so last millenium!

Tyler Nunnery, an all around awesome guy with autism, was declared Homecoming King at Truman High School last year. Why? Because “he deserved it.”

7. The Homecoming Dance.

Slow dancing with your date isn’t the only reason to go.

Who will be that one guy or girl who breaks it down in front of the whole school?

Enjoy Pride Week and everything else, everyone!
