Homecoming is Here: Get Excited!

By Tawni Ruesch and Brianna Bratland

School spirit, pride and excitement are all key themes that students display at the Newman Catholic High School homecoming.

Decorating hallways, dressing up as cowboys, and an adrenaline stirring pep rally are just a few ways the students here at NCHS celebrate homecoming week.  A lot of time and effort goes into the coordinating of the excitement that is the NCHS homecoming.

Not only do teachers and staff work on making homecoming possible, but the students, especially the seniors, play the most important role.  Seniors pick the dress-up days and plan the games and all the events that take place during homecoming. 

Every year the seniors have a special ambition to be number one.  This year’s seniors are planning on taking home the gold, and coming out on top.  Meetings are being held almost every day during the high school lunch just to plan things like hall decorations and the homecoming dance. 

Every year pep club likes to bring out the spirit of homecoming with the help of the pep club advisor Mrs. Kronberger.  Mrs. Kronberger is excited to see students take ownership of making homecoming a success.  She is most looking forward to the motorcade, because everyone is honking and cheering, and she feels it is part of the homecoming that gets everyone most motivated.
