When the air gets crisp and the leaves turn orange, it can only mean one thing – IHS Homecoming is right around the corner. 2024’s Homecoming festivities will be disco-themed and held on October 4 and 5 at IHS. Student Government Association is hard at work to prepare for the events that the ever-popular ‘hoco’ brings.
Homecoming programs include the pep rally, football game, and dance. The pep rally and football game bring special excitement to the air as the Homecoming King and Queen are announced during these events. This year’s king’s court includes Timothy Birch, Mark Collinger, Quinn Lipniskis, Joey Margita, and Dylan Rice. The queen’s court is formed by Vania Ali, Hannah Cowburn, Lucia Clark, Abigail Jozefowicz, and Eve Kuzneski. The members of the court were voted on by the senior class and the king and queen will be voted on by the entire IHS student body.
In addition to the winners being announced, the pep rally will hold fun activities that include both teachers and students. Musical chairs, relay races, and dance-offs are just a few of the enjoyable events that will take place. The football game will include a chalk toss at halftime when the queen is announced. Students can expect to be covered in numerous colors at the end of the night.
Student Government Association, more commonly known among students as SGA, has planned IHS’s Homecoming for numerous years. A vast majority of IHS’s student body attends the homecoming dance. All grade levels are eligible to attend, making the dance almost as or even more popular than prom. This year’s SGA president, senior Eve Kuzneski, is spearheading the planning process. Eve comments, “SGA has been very busy preparing the events for Homecoming, including the Homecoming pep rally, football game, and dance. The decorations set for the new gym are on their way.”
Many teachers assist in IHS Homecoming. SGA advisor, Mr. Michael Bertig, greatly helps students plan the events. Mr. Bertig shares, “As SGA Advisor, I set up committees of students who work on the various aspects of Homecoming. That includes deciding on the Spirit Week themes, creating and selling the dance tickets, coordinating the Pep Rally, and coordinating and decorating for the Homecoming Dance, including getting a DJ. I also personally handle organizing the Homecoming Court, including handling the voting process.”
The intensive planning of this year’s hoco festivities assures students that the pep rally, football game, and dance will be one of the best yet.
