Calling all Lavaca Alumni! Next week, October 8-12, is homecoming and you are being summoned to come home, fill the stands, and cheer on your Golden Arrows as they take on the Magazine Rattlers. The court has been set, activities planned, and dress up days established. Alumni please plan on joining with your fellow Alums in the festivities.
Homecoming events have become woven into the very fabric of America. The first “Homecoming” is highly contested. The Alumni for Harvard and Yale have been invited to attend their annual game dating back as far as the 1870’s, but it wasn’t until 1910 that three colleges, Baylor University , University of Missouri, and the University of Illinois, planned their “Coming Home” events that most closely resembles what we have today. By 1920 virtually every university across the country was hosting a “Homecoming”. High Schools quickly adopted the practice to bring school spirt and pride in the community.

The week leading up to Homecoming is known as Spirit Week. The Student body will dress up in theme each day of the week. The themes for spirit week are: Monday: Mismatch Day, Tuesday: Country Day, Wednesday: Fake an Injury Day, Thursday: Vine/Meme Day, and Friday: Purple and Gold Day. Should be fun to see what creative costumes these kids come up with.
