Each class has decorated their respective hallways in various "park" themes. The senior, junior and sophomore hall locations remained the same as in the past, but with freshmen now a part of the high school their hallway is in the annex building.
The senior theme is based on a circus park, the juniors an amusement park, sophomores feature a haunted house and freshmen have a water park.
The theme of this year's homecoming is "Domination: A Stroll Through the Park."
Throughout the week students will dress up in various themes. Monday was "Fancy Shmancy Day," Tuesday was "Animal Day," today is "Celebrity Look-alike Day," Thursday is "Future Day" and Friday is the traditional "Tiger Day."
A number of activities have been scheduled during the lunch time throughout the week. The freshmen class hosted a dance-off on Monday, the sophomores offered karaoke on Tuesday, the juniors will set up an obstacle course today and Thursday the seniors will hold a sandcastle building competition.
Several activities are held in the evenings during the week.
Monday featured the annual Macho Man volleyball game between the junior and senior boys and Tuesday, the freshmen and sophomores squared off in a dodgeball competition.
