Homecoming, for high school students, is a time that some will remember the rest of their lives. Whether it be spirit week activities, the senior lunch auction, the football game, the Homecoming queen getting crowned, or the dance, Homecoming week is a favorite for the student body. Students can't wait to see what the Homecoming theme is and what new ideas or events they can take place in this year.
Despite Homecoming week being the best week a student has during the school year, Student Council would say that it is the most stressful and time-consuming week they deal with. When asked why Homecoming week is so stressful, Sudent Council Co-President Wimberly Glass said, "We want students to enjoy Homecoming week and have fun, and we know that if they don't like the activities we have, it's our fault." Most people do not know that the student council starts more than six months before to create a theme and plan for the Homecoming the following year. They try and make it the best they can, so planning early is a key factor. There are so many things the student council is in charge for during homecoming week, including the senior auction, designing the t-shirts, organizing homecoming court, and more. Glass said, "As soon as school starts, we meet once a week to discuss homecoming week and the activites we want to have. Being co-president also means that I have more work and the event consumes more time than other officers because a lot is expected out of me."
Although planning homecoming week is a lot to do and can be stressful, Glass said that she loves being co-president and likes the challenages it brings. "I like seeing all the students participating in the activites we spent so much time in planning and hope that it will be a memorable event."
