Homecoming 2010

Tioga School held our 2nd Annual Tioga Homecoming Celebration on January 21, 2010. We celebrated all week with dress-up days that went along with the 1950's theme of Homecoming. Our dress up days included: Spirit Day, Zebra Day, Scarf and Bandana Day, 50's Day, and Crazy Sock Day.

On January 21, the cheerleaders help a Homecoming Pep Rally, where Elvis (our bulldog mascot) danced to "Hounddog" and other 50's classics. The basketball games began at 5:30 p.m. and activities were held throughout the evening. Events included the crowning of the Homecoming Prince & Princess, recognizing Tioga’s alumni (including a Tioga High School graduate from the class of 1946!), a performance from the cheerleading mini-camp participants, basketball skills and drills by the 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders, a raffle drawing, and much more!

The Homecoming Princess Candidates that made up our court included: Chalisa Smith, Reilley Hicks, Belen Gonzales, Katie Dean, and Faith Caperton.

The Homecoming Prince Candidates that made up our court included: Jesus Romo, Aaron McWhorter, Joe Khalaf, Josh Hill, and Gerardo Gonzales.

Our 2010 Homecoming Prince and Princess were Jesus Romo and Katie Dean.

On Friday January 22, in honor of Homecoming, the Student Council sponsored a sock-hop in the gym.

All of the Homecoming activities were a great success!
