Freeport High School just wrapped up its 2024 Homecoming, and a few disagreements followed. A common issue during Homecoming Week is the students’ dress-up days.
The themes for the homecoming week were;
- Decades Day
- Spirit Day
- Jersey Day
- Twin Day
- Class Color
Many students said their favorite theme was Jersey Day, while others said they would remove Twin Day or Decades Day.
“I would remove twin day and make it a free day of school,” Kazion Morehead, a sophomore, said.
“The one thing I would change for the days would probably just be decades day,” Donavyn Fernandez, a senior, said.
Some popular suggestions included “Dress Like Your Type” day and “Anything but a Backpack.” “Dress Like Your Type” day is when students when you dress like the type of person you’d want to date. “Anything but a Backpack” day has students bring things like suitcases, laundry baskets, or wheelbarrows instead of a backpack.
These days either didn’t get enough votes or weren’t approved by administrators.
“I would want to do dress like your type day. I feel like that would be fun,” Breanna Simmons-Howard; a senior, said.
The homecoming dress-up days are picked each year by student council and approved by administrators.
“We send a list out to everyone in the Freeport High School so all the student body go on their class pages; they get to vote and then that list gets the top 4 to make the 4 days because there’s always a spirit day,” Haley Kurtz; student council advisor, said.
Students who have suggestions for next years dress-up days should contact their class president:
