Homecoming 2016

School homecoming is a tradition of welcoming back former students and celebrating a school’s existence.

Homecoming is an annual tradition in the United States.  Appalachian has celebrated the homecoming for as long as anyone can remember . The modern version of our homecoming traditions began in 1996 when Chancellor Borkowski appointed a campus wide committee to bring unity and coordination to the multiple events sponsored every year by Alumni Affairs , Student Programs ,Athletics , Ambassadors and so on .

The reason we celebrate homecoming in schools is because those who return to their high school for homecoming after having graduated do so to celebrate their high school , see old friends and remember memories of that time of their lives. Students who are currently in high school celebrate  homecoming to show school spirit and support for students to be more involved in school .

There are many events like homecoming these events would be football games , club activities , prom , junior ball , etc…

The reason it is called a homecoming game is  because It is a football game followed by a semi formal dance.

The homecoming Etiquette which takes place every fall is a very important high school event

In my opinion, homecoming is an event to support the school spirit and bring motivation to the high school students . Homecoming is optional and many people go and many do not go and nothing is wrong with that because it is just a semi formal dance. I am not going to go because it is simply just a dance and it is not really special .
