Home-home-homecoming

What is Homecoming all about at Nathan Hale?

It's about celebrating the spirit that is so unique to our school.

We dress up in thematic costumes.

Jungle day:



Mr. Case day:



(That's Laura D. showing us how it's done, dressed as a tennis ball in honor of our beloved Racquet Sports teacher!)

We engage in a little friendly grade-to-grade competition for points by having a tug-of-war, a yell contest, and daily contests for participation in lunchtime activities.

We decorate our lunchroom, with each grade level working on a different theme:

Seniors were Greek gods . . .



Ninth graders were Cavemen (they built a great cave!)



The week culminated in a great football game and a wonderful dance. All in all, our students showed their spirit of community and commitment.
