School Spirit Was Alive for Homecoming

The curtain has fallen on Sanford High School’s 2024 Homecoming Week. From October 9-14, the halls echoed with the sounds of Broadway as students, faculty, and staff came together to celebrate the school spirit in theatrical style, culminating in the high school’s annual Homecoming Parade.

Each class brought their chosen Broadway musical theme to life during the parade. Seniors transformed the school into Rydell High with their “Grease” theme, complete with leather jackets and poodle skirts.

The juniors made a splash with “The Little Mermaid,” the sophomores took everyone “Back to the Future,” with creative DeLorean cutouts and 1950s-inspired decor, and the freshmen had “Hamilton”-themed displays and revolutionary spirit.

There were spirit days throughout the week, which encouraged students to dress in creative costumes each day to earn points for their grades. Monday was “Country vs Pop,” Tuesday was “Twin Day,” Wednesday students dressed as their Broadway musical, and Thursday was “Red and White” day.

There were also varsity home games each day and the student section was encouraged to wear the theme of the night. On Thursday, students were dismissed by grade to attend the Pep Rally. Each grade had its own student section in the competition gym.
