Macon East celebrated Homecoming the week of September 19 – 23.  Events included themed dress up days of America Monday, Tuesday Night Fever, Dress to Unimpress (Tacky Day), Dress Like the First Letter of Your Name, and Spirit Day.  The entire school really enjoyed dressing up and showing their school spirit. Other events during the week included a dodgeball tournament, boys volleyball tournament, and a homeroom door decorating contest.  The cheerleaders entertained everyone with a fantastic blacklight pep rally Thursday night. The annual upper school tailgate was a time of good food and lots of fun and fellowship.  The lower school students enjoyed tailgating as well with pizza, watermelon, and goodies.   As the school day ended, everyone gathered in the parking lot for the Homecoming Parade.  Each lower school class carried a sign down the parade route.  The wee princess, little damsel, and pee wee cheerleaders along with the pee wee football team rode on floats and trailers throwing goodie bags to the crowd.  Homecoming attendants threw goodies to the crowd as well from their decorated vehicles.  Homecoming Court attendants selected by their classmates were Bentley Graham (7th grade), Megan Hardy (8th grade), Lexi Hagood (9th grade), Alexis Davis & Mattie Pugh (10th grade), Pressley Graham, Lathan Johnson & Jaiden McDowell (11th grade), Mikalah Belser, Hannah Kate Hodges, Madison May, & Lulu Russell (12th grade).  At halftime of the football game, Miss Lulu Russell was crowned as the 2022 Homecoming Queen.  The Knights played an outstanding game, but Lee-Scott won the battle of the unbeatens 49-7. Gabe Spencer and Deonte Powell led the Knights offensively.  Defensively, Dalton Nickles, Zach Brown and Thaddeus McKinney racked up tackles.
