Homecoming celebrations
Homecoming is a fun two events that Americans do in high school. There is a homecoming football game (American football) which a lot of the school goes to because football is very big here, especially here in Texas. During the football game, the homecoming king and queen are announced, which are two seniors (12th grade) who the students vote for. There are also homecoming princes and princesses, one pair for freshmen (9th grade), sophomores (10th grade), and juniors (11th grade). After the football game, we have a homecoming dance, where you can go with a date or friends and just have fun at the dance! It is a very big tradition here, and many high schoolers make mums and garters, which are very large, decorative items that usually have a white flower in the middle and ribbons with your school colors. The week of homecoming is very fun and exciting, and it is something to "welcome" the students back to school and the football season.
