Macon East’s Homecoming is always a week full of fun and family festivities. High school students participated in a dodgeball tournament and a men’s volleyball tournament during the week.  Homeroom classes competed in a door decoration contest. Dress up days included camo day, superstar vs scrub, mathlete vs athlete, Throwback Thursday where students dressed up a certain decade and Friday was red, white, and blue spirit day. 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.  Friday afternoon was the much-anticipated Homecoming Parade.  Each lower school class created a 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.
