Macon East’s Homecoming is an exciting time for students and their families, filled with a week-long celebration of fun and festivities. One of the highlights of the week was a thrilling men’s volleyball tournament, where high school students showcased their skills and competed against each other.
In addition to the sports event, homeroom classes also got into the spirit by participating in a door decoration contest. This allowed students to showcase their creativity and team spirit as they transformed their classroom doors into vibrant and eye-catching displays.
Dress up days added an extra element of excitement to the Homecoming week. Students had the opportunity to show off their individuality and express themselves through various themed dress-up days such as class color day, dynamic duos, dream job, letter day, and Freedom Friday. The cheerleaders entertained and pumped everyone up with their annual black light pep rally Thursday night. Finally on Friday, the lower school and upper school enjoyed tailgating with wonderful food and fellowship. The Homecoming Parade on Friday afternoon was a highly anticipated event for everyone involved. Each lower school class had the opportunity to showcase their creativity by creating a unique banner to carry down the parade route. The wee princess, little damsel, and pee wee cheerleaders along with the flag and pee wee football teams rode on floats and trailers throwing goodies to the crowd. The Homecoming Court then made their way down the route to wave at their peers and throw some goodies. The football teams also greeted the crowd with candy and enjoyed the cheers from the students.
