Homecoming 2024: A Student's Perspective
Homecoming backdrop decorated by WHS Student Council.
Homecoming is an exciting event that welcomes all grade levels and is a staple of the high school experience. Each year, our Student Council puts in countless hours of work to make the dance a special occasion for everyone participating. Every dance is distinguished by a different theme, and this year's theme was "Mamma Mia."
Many factors are involved in preparing for Homecoming night. Whether it's creating a sign to ask out a date, shopping for an outfit, booking dinner reservations, or simply taking pictures, each detail contributes to the overall experience. This photo essay delves into all the various aspects that Homecoming has to offer.
